Tollywood Shooting Updates: Stars Return to Hyderabad Sets

Core News and Key Facts

Hyderabad is once again looking less like a city between film schedules and more like one large working production floor. Several Telugu films are currently shooting across Ramoji Film City, Kokapet, Annapurna Studios, Muchintal, Aziz Nagar, Moinabad and other locations, bringing a noticeable concentration of activity back to the industry.

Allu Arjun’s Raaka has reportedly moved its shooting activity from Mumbai to Ramoji Film City after a gap of several months. Recent reports have also linked the project to large-scale Hyderabad schedules.

Prabhas’ Fauzi is another major production moving forward. Earlier reports said the film was using multiple units to accelerate its pending shoot, while Hyderabad schedules have continued even when Prabhas himself was not required for every sequence.

Balakrishna’s Dada is reportedly shooting at Ramoji Film City. Nagarjuna’s King 100 is progressing at Annapurna Studios, while Mahesh Babu’s Varanasi is reportedly shooting around Muchintal.

Context and Official Statements

The production activity extends across several generations of Telugu cinema. Chiranjeevi’s Kaka is scheduled to begin a new shoot at Aluminium Factory from October 1, according to the supplied industry update. Prasanth Varma’s Jai Hanuman is continuing at Ramoji Film City.

The Nithiin-Nani combination project Alias Rukmini is also associated with an Aluminium Factory schedule. Sharwanand’s George Krish is reportedly shooting in Moinabad, while projects involving Sree Vishnu and Sai Dharam Tej are also progressing.

Gopichand’s film has reportedly been shooting in Shankarpally for several weeks. The supplied update also mentions a reality-based film being directed by Kiran Abbavaram, with an upcoming schedule planned at Aluminium Factory.

The exact schedules and location details for several projects are based on industry reports and the supplied source rather than formal production-house announcements, so individual timings may change.

Krihaa Analysis

The important development is not simply that famous actors are back on sets. It is the simultaneous movement of productions across Hyderabad, creating sustained demand for the ecosystem surrounding filmmaking.

When Ramoji Film City, Annapurna Studios, Aluminium Factory and locations around the city are being used by multiple productions at the same time, the activity feeds into technicians, production crews, equipment rentals, transport, set construction, catering and location-management businesses.

There is also a useful distinction between a star returning to a set and a film actually moving forward. The Fauzi example illustrates this: reports have indicated that multiple units can continue shooting portions that do not require the lead actor.

That production model matters because Telugu cinema now operates with increasingly complex actor calendars and large-scale projects. Maintaining parallel schedules can reduce idle periods and help films progress despite crowded commitments. For Hyderabad, the current shooting rush therefore represents more than entertainment news; it reflects continued strength in the city’s role as a full-service film production hub.
