Lalitha Mahal Palace – Mysore
(Image copyrighted to Curt Smith. All rights reserved.)
Another immensely popular location but we have only 2 movies that we know of which were shot at this beautiful palace. Palaces have always captured the imagination of both our directors and our audience and hence it comes as no surprise that this location has been heavily used in our movies, given the fact that this is one of the biggest palaces in the country. We are trying to think of more movies that have been filmed here but did not want that to stop us from presenting this location. Do leave us a comment on any movie that you know of which was shot here.
About the location (from Wiki):
The Lalitha Mahal is the second largest palace in Mysore. It is located near the Chamundi Hills, east of the city of Mysore in the Indian state of Karnataka. The palace was built in 1921 at the orders of Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the Maharaja of Mysore for the exclusive stay of the then Viceroy of India. Built on a raising ground, the palace was fashioned on the lines of the St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and is one of the imposing structures of the Mysore city.
The palace painted in pure white color is strikingly elegant. It was converted into a heritage hotel in 1974. It is now run as an elite hotel of the Ashok Group of the India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) under the Government of India. However, a veneer of the original royal ambience of the palace is maintained.

That’s exactly where we were when we started
, Karthick. Meaning that was all we knew. But one viewing of the song changed all that. Too many locations spanning across 3 states for just another routine duet song.
