With these breathtaking settings, which offer a real and spiritual spaces much beyond the movie’s set, you can have your ideal South Indian temple wedding.
Who says that ideal weddings can’t happen?
In a recent interview, Arjun Kapoor stated that the famous wedding scene from 2 States was not shot at real temple. Rather, he praised the film’s crew for their artistic vision. In the 2014 film, the temple where Arjun Kapoor’s Krish and Alia Bhatt’s Ananya were married seemed like the perfect setting for a wedding. Lots of people were intrigued by the place because of its breathtaking vistas. The actor confirmed, though, that the temple was completely made up.
“After this film (2 States) released, people wanted to know where this temple is. This temple doesn’t exist,” Arjun revealed in an interview with Mashable India.
Talking about the fan favourite visual backdrop, he added, “It’s a set. But people thought… It’s Madh Island. We shot in Madh Island for four days. This is a set, and that’s the Arabian Sea behind me.”
Arjun underlined how unreal places may seem real thanks to the beauty of film. “That’s how amazing it is to be able to make cinema come alive, when the right technicians come together. Abhishek Varman, Vinod Pradhan, Amrita, the production design, the music, everything just adds to the mystery and that aura of a dream wedding. This dream wedding was happening in Madh Island,” he further said.
