The
wooden
set
of
the
film
Dhandam
Dhashagunam
at
Chaklihole
dam
in
Kushalnagar
near
Dubare
forest
has
become
a
major
attraction
for
the
media.
This
is
the
place,
where
a
song
of
the
film
was
shot.
The
song
featured
Ramya
and
Chiranjeevi
Sarja
and
was
choreographed
by
Chinni
Prakash.
The
set
was
erected
by
the
famous
art
director
Mohan
B.
Kere.
An
estimated
total
of
45
carpenters
created
the
set,
which
took
40
days
to
complete
and
nearly
Rs.22
lakhs
were
spent.
A
source
from
the
sets
says,
"This
locale
was
selected
after
a
place
in
Sri
Lanka
was
rejected
by
producer
Ganesh
as
well
as
the
art
director.
The
set
was
erected
near
the
dam.
Due
to
heavy
rains,water
from
the
dam
was
overflowed
and
gushed
in.
which
caused
an
extra
expenditure
of
nearly
five
lakhs
of
rupees.
Mohan
B.
Kere
had
to
go
nine
feet
deep
with
divers
to
keep
the
structure
intact."
