A Memorable Production Experience in Agra with Saregama & Yoodlee Films
Agra is not only the city of the Taj Mahal—it is a living canvas of stories, people, heritage, architecture and real locations. For filmmakers, however, capturing the authentic character of Agra requires strong local knowledge, careful planning and dependable on-ground production support.
One of the memorable projects handled by the Trueway Network Team was the feature film “Agra”, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kanu Behl and associated with Saregama / Yoodlee Films. The film features a talented ensemble including Rahul Roy, Priyanka Bose, Vibha Chibber, Ruhani Sharma and Aanchal Goswami, among others. The film premiered at the 2023 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight and subsequently received its Indian theatrical release in 2025.

Our Association with the “Agra” Shoot
For this project, Trueway Network Team provided line production and local production services in Agra, supporting the production team with locations, local coordination and the various practical requirements involved in conducting a shoot smoothly.
During the production, our office also became a meeting and coordination point for members of the creative and production team. It was a memorable opportunity to interact with members of the cast and crew and to work closely with a professional production unit.
The photographs from this period capture some special moments from our office with members of the team, including Rahul Roy, Priyanka Bose, Aanchal Goswami, Ruhani Sharma and Vibha Chibber, along with members of the production team.
Local Knowledge Makes the Difference
Shooting a feature film in a real city like Agra involves considerably more than arranging a camera and crew.
A line producer must understand the city at a practical level:
Where a particular visual can be recreated
Which streets and neighbourhoods are suitable for filming
How local movement and traffic can be managed
How to coordinate with property owners and local residents
Where production vehicles can be positioned
How to arrange local crew and equipment
How to manage artists and unit movement
How to arrange accommodation, transportation and catering
How to coordinate with concerned government departments
How to handle permissions and clearances wherever applicable
How to respond quickly when production requirements change
This is where our local experience and production network become valuable to filmmakers.
From Location Scouting to Final Wrap
At Trueway Network, our involvement can begin well before the first camera is switched on.
We support production houses with:
Location Scouting & Management
Identifying suitable heritage, urban, rural, river-side, residential and commercial locations according to the script and director’s vision.
Permissions & Government Coordination
Assistance and coordination with concerned authorities for applicable filming permissions and clearances, particularly at protected heritage sites and government-controlled locations.
Local Crew & Artist Coordination
Arranging reliable local manpower, artists, supporting artists, technicians, drivers, production assistants and other resources.
Equipment & Technical Support
Coordination for cameras, lenses, lighting, generators, grip equipment and other production requirements.
Logistics & Transportation
Vehicles, movement plans, accommodation, catering and day-to-day production logistics.
On-Ground Production Management
Our team remains available on location to coordinate practical requirements and resolve issues quickly so that the shooting schedule remains on track.
Experience Beyond One Project
The Agra project is one example of our continuing association with film and television productions in the region.
Over the years, the Trueway Network Team has worked on shoots in and around Taj Mahal, Yamuna river-side areas, Agra’s old city, heritage locations, historical monuments, villages, markets, ghats and other distinctive locations of Agra and North India.
Our experience also includes working around ASI-protected monuments and locations under different government departments, where filming requires advance planning, proper coordination and strict adherence to applicable regulations.
We understand that every production is different. A documentary may need a small and agile unit; a feature film may require extensive crowd, equipment and logistics; while a television or OTT production may demand rapid location changes and continuous local support.
Our job is to adapt to the production—not make the production adapt to us.
Helping Filmmakers Discover the Real Agra
The real strength of Agra as a filming destination lies beyond the Taj Mahal.
The city offers:
Mughal architecture • Heritage buildings • Old-city lanes • Markets • Yamuna river landscapes • River sand locations • Rural surroundings • Havelis • Ghats • Gardens • Modern urban spaces • Traditional neighbourhoods
With the right local production partner, filmmakers can explore these possibilities efficiently and professionally.
Your Vision. Our Local Execution.
At Trueway Network, we aim to become an extension of the production house on the ground—understanding the requirement, coordinating with the concerned people and authorities, arranging local resources and helping the creative team concentrate on what matters most: telling the story.
Our association with projects such as Agra is an important part of our professional journey and reflects our commitment to providing reliable, practical and end-to-end line production support in Agra and across North India.
