There is nothing better to start than at the thousand pillar temple which has standout as a testimony to Kakathiya's grandeur. Inaddition today is a very prosperous day (Panchami) on which over 1,50,000 marriages are being done. So we have started today.

This first historical stereoscopic 3d movie in India definitely allures".
