Due to the unique natural beauty of Sri Lanka, it has become a destination of many tourists. Local and foreign tourists are also attracted to ancient and modern constructions in the country. Because of this, Sri Lanka is chosen for the shooting of international huge cinema productions.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, there is a misguided note circulating these days regarding a film shoot taking place in the \u2018Ella\u2019 area of Sri Lanka, and below is our fact check on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Media Posts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mainstream media reported a news stating \u201cShooting of the movie \u201cSINGHAM AGAIN\u201d in Ella – trains will be restricted\u201d and it was circulated on social media as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Railway Department of Sri Lanka had issued an official announcement that train operation on the upcountry railway from Colombo Fort to Ella railway station has been restricted from October 9th to October 15th due to the shooting of a joint Indo- Sri Lanka film on the nine-arched bridge between Ella and Demodara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there was no mention of the name of the film being shot, and many assumed that the film currently being shot in Sri Lanka is the Hindi film \u201cSingham Again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why was it assumed that the shooting of Singham Again is taking place in Sri Lanka?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singham again<\/a> or Singham 3 starring the biggest stars of Hindi cinema is going to be released worldwide on November 1st in conjunction with this year\u2019s Diwali festival and the trailer<\/a> of the movie was released on September 7th. The trailer of Rohit Shetty\u2019s huge movie has already caught the attention of many people<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this Indian movie has attracted the attention of people as it has been shot in places like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kashmir and some places in Sri Lanka\u2019s valuable architectural places like the Colombo Lotus tower, ShangriLa Hotel, Galle Face, SeethaEliya in NuwaraEliya, Seethai Amman, Thirukkovil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this many people assume whether the shooting of the same movie or another part of it is happening in Sri Lanka these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting in Ella is for another Telugu film!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to find out about the shootings taking place near Ella nine arch bridge these days, we made an inquiry to Ashan Rajasuriya, the monitoring officer of the National Film Corporation, who had reported on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He mentioned that it is the shooting of a Telugu film called \u2018Mirayi (2025)\u2019<\/a> that is taking place these days. He also mentioned that a group of 69 foreigners have come to Sri Lanka for the filming of it and forwarded us the letters stating that the permission has been obtained for it from the Film Corporation of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that also the name of the film is stated as \u2018Mirayi\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
