Ooty
Ooty, also known as the “Queen of Hill Stations,” became one of the most memorable filming locations for the Bollywood comedy horror film Golmaal Again, starring Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty (director). One of the primary filming spots in Ooty was the historic Fernhills Palace, a majestic colonial mansion surrounded by lush Nilgiri hills and dense forests. This palace served as the eerie mansion seen in the movie, where several important scenes of the story unfold. The grand architecture, wooden interiors, and mist-covered surroundings created the perfect spooky yet cinematic atmosphere for the film. Fernhills Palace was originally built in the 19th century and later became a heritage property known for its royal design and British-era charm. The palace’s massive halls, vintage staircases, and quiet forest surroundings made it an ideal setting for the haunted house sequences in Golmaal Again. The filmmakers used the natural foggy environment of Ooty to enhance the horror-comedy vibe of the movie. Because of this, many Bollywood fans now search for Golmaal Again shooting location in Ooty when planning trips to the Nilgiri Hills.
