Vizag is a popular filming location in Telugu cinema. Vizag is a popular filming location due to its beautiful coastal city with picturesque beaches, hills, and other natural landscapes.

The local population is also friendly and enthusiastic, making it easier for filmmakers to film in the city. Furthermore, the local administration in Visakhapatnam supports filmmakers by streamlining the permit process and providing logistical assistance. Here is a list of popular films shot in Vizag.
