Director Chethan Kumar has always made sure that his films have two songs shot in a foreign location. This, he feels, will add visual beauty and also showcase new locations. For his upcoming film Bharaate, starring Sriimurali and Sreeleela, the director has for the first time shot in picturesque locations of Switzerland.

Sharing a few pictures from the sets with Cinema Express, he reveals that the two tracks — a peppy number and a melody song choreographed by Harsha — were shot in six cities. “We juggled between Interlaken, Bern, Thun, Sanin, Gstaad, and Fribourg. We also shot a few scenes at Grindewald mountain,” Chethan said, adding, “Shooting at foreign shores is always a different experience. In Switzerland, I got to shoot in some of the best locations.”

While the title track of Bharaate is already out, the second track — Yo-Yo — will be released this weekend. The film, produced by Suprit, consists of an ensemble cast, and has a special song appearance by Rachita Ram. The film’s release is planned for September 27.
