By: Tupaki Desk | 2 July 2026 8:27 PM ISTDirector Abhishek Nama is highly confident in his epic fantasy adventure, Nagabandham – The Secret Treasure. Speaking about the final output, he expressed immense happiness, promising a visual feast for the entire family. The promotional content has already created a nationwide sensation, setting high expectations for the cast, which includes Virat Karrna, Nabha Natesh, Iswarya Menon, and Jagapathi Babu.
Abhishek Nama revealed that the core inspiration came from the unsolved mysteries of Vault B in the Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Fascinated by what might lie inside, he developed a fictional treasure hunt around this premise. Realizing the massive canvas of the story, he decided to direct it himself to bring his exact vision to life. The team successfully completed the shoot in 107 days, with the director personally designing many of the core concepts.
Building the world of Nagabandham required immense resources. Since shooting in real temples had restrictions, the team constructed eight massive sets, allocating eighty percent of the budget purely to production, artwork, and CG. The director praised the producers for their unwavering belief, noting that providing clear pre-production visuals gave them the confidence to back the film without hesitation.
The film is produced on a grand scale by Kishore Annapureddy and Nishita Nagireddy and it is globally having a massive release. With incredible dedication from the cast like Virat Karrna performing stunts in freezing temperatures, Abhishek Nama is thrilled with the final output and already hinted at a sequel. Nagabandham is releasing on 3rd July with high expectations and buzz.
