What you have read is right. Italy of 1970's is being re-built for Prabhas. The real Nation is not going through any big changes but the country-side of that beautiful Western European country is being built as a set for Prabhas20.

Even though the actor and film team tried to go and shoot in European countries, they couldn't get necessary permissions in-time before Covid-19 as they are heritage places for the people there.

So, sets of Old Rome city, country side of Italy and a hospital sets are being constructed for the film. Total costs of sets is said to be more than 25-30 crores. The team feared it would cost them more than 90-120 crores just like Saaho, but art director, Ravinder and his team have come up with several cost saving schemes, it seems.

The film needs Italy and Rome backdrop as it provides a different perspective to the love story, it seems. Movie title and updates might be released soon by producers, UV Creations and Gopikrishna Movies. Pooja Hegde is playing the lady lead in this movie directed by Radhakrishna.
