The report quoted the source as saying, "Rajamouli sir wants to maintain secrecy around the world that he is creating. As part of the three-tier security system, guards have been stationed at all entry and exit points to ensure that only authorised personnel can enter the set. The second layer involves the on-site monitoring, where crew members undergo additional checks."

Further, he stated that with the open landscape posing challenges in controlling unauthorised access the production team has stationed additional personnel of 35 around the location perimeter.

"Since the set’s location was leaked, local forest authorities have been roped in to keep intruders at bay. Actors have been requested to not share anything on social media until the official announcement,” added the source.
