Period films created on a large scale call for heavy jewelry. Gunasekhar's new movie Rudramadevi has enough glitter and maybe more. The film's main protagonist, played by Anushka, is believed to be presented with a display of fine jewels worth nearly Rs5crores. This will set a new milestone to the director's list of grand displays. Gunasekhar had previously invested liberally for the beautiful sets of Okkadu and Arjun, both starring Mahesh Babu.

Eminent designer Neeta Lulla is creating the look for this latest period film using real gold and diamonds. Makers of Rudramadevi believe that Anushka's jewelry will surpass the grandeur of Ashutosh Gowarikar's Jodha Akbar, where Aishwarya wore jewels fit for a queen.

While Suman is portrying a negative role in the film, stars including Prakash Raj, Rana, Krishnam Raju, Brazilian model Nathalia Kaur and Zara Shah are also part of the cast. Soulful composer Ilayaraja has contributed his talents to the film's music.
