KGF Team Recreated Gold Mines From 70’s At Real Kolar Gold Field

One of the most ambitious films to emerge from the southern market is KGF, the film revolves around the Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka.

KGF marks Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment’s first Kannada venture and the production house is elated to be associated with a mega ambitious project as such.

In order to deliver authenticity onscreen, KGF makers shot at Real location – The Kolar Gold Fields.

While accessing the real location, the makers had to recreate Gold mine operations which had shut down in 2001. Huge sets were constructed to add to the authenticity of the real locations.

Besides constructing sets, there was also a health hazard as the soil of Kolar Gold Fields has toxic elements. The makers took all necessary precautions and ensured safety of the cast and crew before beginning shoot.
