“As the film is set in the 80s era, the makers of the film had to create a huge set at Kolar Gold Fields which was operational and at its peak in the 80s,” said a source close to the filmmakers.

KGF is widely marketed as the costliest film ever to be made in the Kannada film industry.

Director Prashanth Neel said he had full freedom when it came to the budget. “When you start writing you dont worry about the budget. It could be even Rs 1000 crore. But then you had to start considering other factors like its a Kannada movie and we have limitations,” he told Indianexpress.com.

“But (producer) Vijay Kiragandur did not even once mention that the budget has to be limited. Still, we had to be responsible for him as well,” he added.

While the filmmakers have declined to reveal the exact budget, rumors have it that KGF was made on a budget of Rs 80 crore. The film is produced by Homabale Films.
