About Ramoji Film City

According to its studio website, it has more than 50 sound stages and more than 300 permanent sets and backlots, and productions such as Baahubali 2, RRR, Pushpa 2 and Kalki 2898 AD have been shot there. The tourist side of the complex has welcomed more than 15 million guests since 1996, according to Ramoji Film City.

An earlier version of this article said “you should save 3 to 4 days” to see everything and to “set aside 1,000 bucks” per person. Most visitors cover the studio tour in a day, and prices are now higher, so those lines have been removed. It also mentioned a holiday carnival held from 21 April to 5 May 2022; Ramoji runs carnivals and festive events in different seasons, so check the website for current events.
