Annapurna Studios: A Family Legacy
The wedding took place at Annapurna Studios, a 22-acre family property in Hyderabad. Founded in 1976 by Naga Chaitanya’s grandfather, the legendary actor-producer Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the studio is not only one of the largest film production hubs in India but also holds great sentimental value for the Akkineni family.
