After Devil, Abhishek Nama returns to direction with Nagabandham – The Secret Treasure, a mythological adventure with a pan-India vision. Featuring Virat Karrna in the lead, the film takes audiences on a gripping journey rooted in ancient legends and spiritual mysteries.
A massive temple set, reportedly built with a budget of Rs. 10 crore, has been erected at Rama Naidu Studios, Nanakramguda in Hyderabad. Designed by legendary art director Ashok Kumar, who earlier recreated the Charminar set for Mahesh Babu’s Okkadu, this set is being hailed as one of the most impressive in recent times. A song and several key scenes will be shot here, adding grandeur and authenticity to the story.
The film is produced on a grand scale by Kishore Annapureddy under NIK Studios, in collaboration with Abhishek Pictures. Nabha Natesh and Iswarya Menon play the female leads, while Jagapathi Babu, Jayaprakash and Murali Sharma appear in important roles. Music is composed by Abhe.
Nagabandham explores the sacred world of India’s ancient Vishnu temples and the revered Nagabandham ritual, drawing inspiration from real-life treasure legends linked to Padmanabhaswamy and Puri Jagannath temples. Slated for release later this year, the film blends mythology, mystery, and visual spectacle to offer a fresh and fascinating cinematic experience.
