Kannappa
“In New Zealand, the film was shot in various locations across Auckland, Rotorua, Glenorchy, WΔnaka, Pukaki, and Christchurch.” Wikipedia
Named here by Glenorchyβs own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Glenorchy, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
