The setting of Salman Khan's
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo is grand as the film has been shot primarily in
havelis and rajmahals. Though the ornate sets could've been recreated in a
studio, director Sooraj Barjatya and Salman both agreed on shooting in
real locations. A haveli in Gondal, near Rajkot (Gujarat), was chosen to
film a sizeable portion of the family drama. While the production team
was
put up in a hotel, Salman preferred staying in the heritage property.
The star recreated his room to his taste by painting the walls. The
striking artworks brightened the interiors and were admired by everyone
when the actor hosted get-togethers after the shoot. Once the schedule
was wrapped up, the owners decided to retain Salman's frescos in his
room. One hears that the haveli has now been converted into a boutique
hotel and its new-found star status is making it an attraction.
