Production

Sheeshmahal was initially titled Festen. The film was shot in 27 days around the International Children's Film Festival [4] which is hosted every 2 years in Hyderabad. [10] Sheeshmahal takes an independent look at the experiences of participants from different states. Director Camp Sasi said “The best way to capture the real flavor of the fest was to shoot the film during the fest itself; no amount of set designing can replicate the mood. The atmosphere itself lends to a very good mood-building scene.” [3]

While the movie was being filmed, most of the cast and crew were newcomers, including music director Vivek Sagar, cinematographer Gnana Shekar V. S., actor Rahul Ramakrishna, writer and director Camp Sasi. By the time of its theatrical release, Vivek Sagar has grown to be a household name, Rahul Ramakrishna became a mainstream film actor, and sound designer Sanal George went on to win 65th National Film Awards for Best Sound Design.
