Exploring new world: Debutants Amith Raj and Vardhini in Kalidasa Lovvalli Bidda

It took three days for the cast and crew of the film Kaalidasa Lovvalli Bidda to travel across the sea to reach Cambodia one of the most beautiful locations in Asia. They were there to shoot a part of the film.

India and Cambodia have a lot of similarities and the crew felt that the Indian audience would easily identify with the location.
 
Exotic locales

"The thought struck us a year ago when I was watching  a documentary about Cambodia on  the National Geographic Channel, with a few friends. I really loved the way the country was depicted in the film. I watched it almost 10 times, just to write my script," says director  Venkatesh  Panchangam.

Not easy

Shooting in that country isn't an easy task, because of all the natural disasters they face throughout the year.
"If my team is ready to give it a shot then why shouldn't I? We were totally prepared before we set out. In fact, I was even ready to shoot a natural calamity if it came our way," says  Venkatesh.

Debut team

Actor Amith Raj plays the lead character opposite Vardhini in the film. It is a debut film for both.
