Many of the Telugu films have a major scene involving jail. Either the hero goes to jail or the villain is in jail. Even major fight scenes are picturised inside jails. But all this is going to become quite expensive.
The jail authorities used to charge a nominal 10,000 rupees per day for film shooting. The amount has now been hiked to Rs. one lakh per day. Even this is likely to be raised to Rs. 2 lakhs per day. All this is likely to make it beyond the reach of the small budget films. So the shooting at jails has come down considerably. Only one film has been shot at the Chanchalguda jail recently. And the film is Chirutha starring Ram Charan Tej.
