Shooting At The Iconic Kashi Vishwanath Is One Of The Main Highlights Of The Video
Brahmastra Song Kesariya is shot in the iconic Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. In a live session on Instagram ahead of the track’s launch, director Ayan Mukherjee is seen revealing how filming the video in the auspicious temple is one of the main highlights of Kesariya.
“I wanted to get to the temple but didn’t know if it would be possible. Finally, we pulled it off! We spoke to the right people and told them we would be very respectful about shooting there. They understood what it meant to us. It was a crazy day of shooting, managing the crowd, somehow not disturbing the ‘darshan’ and getting what we needed,” added Ayan.
The Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is located in Vishwanath Gali of Varanasi, India. The beautiful temple sits on the western bank of the holy river Ganga. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and the holiest of Shiva temples. Understandable why Ranbir, Alia, and Ayan deem the filming location of Brahmastra Song Kesariya so important.
