Behind making of 'Aaya Sher', chartbuster from Nani's The Paradise

Recently, we reported about 'Aaya Sher,' the song from Nani and director Srikanth Odela's upcoming film The Paradise, racking up considerable likes and views on YouTube. Even as the song continues to build its popularity among the audience, the makers of the film shared a behind-the-scenes story about its making.

Interestingly, to realise Srikanth Odela's vision onscreen 'Aaya Sher,' the film's makers constructed a massive slum empire with 100 tankers at a 2.5 acre-long set. According to the film's creators, the set portrays the hero as the king of the slums. The film's makers attribute the authenticity and scale of the track to the sets that are meticulously designed and created by its art department, blending grandeur with natural realism.

The Hero House (Kaman Set) is among the most attractive setups for The Paradise, the makers say. Measuring 60 feet in width, 25 feet in depth, and 45 feet in height, it has been constructed specifically with the 'powerful dip moment' of the hero in mind.

Besides manual labour, the construction of the 'Hero House' set required aging techniques to help confirm that it blends naturally with its surroundings.

One more unique element featuring in the track is the massive biryani bowl-like structure, complete with an aged texture and a copper finish. Notably, the film's makers had it constructed in a matter of five days.

Also enhancing the song's scale is the so-called Water Body Village Set, spanning 2.5 acres, which features 60 fully built houses instead of dummy structures. The makers also constructed a big set recreating the look and feel of an actual dump yard featuring natural, lived-in aesthetics.

The film's art department made it a point not to disturb the environment while having these sets built for the movie. According to them, the sets help make the world of 'Aaya Sher' visually immersive, offering a sneak peek at the realism and grandiose that await audiences in theatres.
