Dubai: Telegu feature film "Duvvada Jagannadham" will be shot in Abu Dhabi for two weeks, according to Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC). The film has been written and directed by Harish Shankar, who will shoot in various locations across Abu Dhabi, with access to twofour54's production services.

"Duvvada Jagannadham" stars Allu Arjun and Pooja Hedge in lead roles and will be produced by Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations. "ADFC and twofour54 have checked all the boxes of our requirements; from the variety of locations to world-class production services support and infrastructure.

Abu Dhabi’s production industry has now become closely correlated with India given the prominent reputation it has built in a short period of time as a filming destination and we are excited about working together on this project," Shankar said. Jassim Al Nowais, ADFC Manager, added, "We are proud to have partnered with some of India's top producers in facilitating their filming experience in Abu Dhabi over the past few years having successfully delivered 'Baby', 'Bang Bang!' and more recently, 'Dishoom'.

"The Capital's diverse filming locations, local production services and support, as well as a 30 per cent cash rebate have helped us reach new milestones and attract projects that target a wide range of audiences and we look forward to working with the cast and crew of DJ in Abu Dhabi."
