Kerala revamps iconic Kireedam bridge under Cinema Tourism project for Rs 1.22 crore

Kerala’s tourism department has revamped the Kireedam bridge at Vellayani in Thiruvananthapuram for ₹1.22 crore under its Cinema Tourism project, hoping to replicate the popularity achieved by the Pangong Tso in Ladakh after the release of 3 Idiots.

Earlier known as the Sivodayam bridge, located across the Punchakkari canal in Kalliyoor panchayat, the facility was renamed following the success of Mohanlal-starrer Kireedam in 1989.
