This location comes to the clinching the spot as the one that has been used by Mani Ratnam the most number of times. But it is strange that we at wherewasitshot.com recognize this shooting location as the one that comes in the Superstar’s Padaiyappa. Remember those temple scenes in Padaiyappa, with first the Nadigar Thilagam and then the Superstar? Those were filmed here. But like we stated at the start of this post, it is Mani Rathnam who has probably used this location the most in his movies, with the unforgettable ‘Raakkamma Kaiya Thattu’ song being one among the many that were picturized by him at this location.
