The Traitors was filmed at the same palace where Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra tied the knot

The makers of

The Traitors

have invested significant effort in curating not just a compelling lineup of contestants but also a location that enhances the show’s psychological gameplay. The Indian adaptation of the international reality format was filmed at the remote and grand

Suryagarh Palace

in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan — the same venue where

Bollywood

couple Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra got married in February 2023.A source associated with the production shared, “To create an environment where the drama and mind games of The Traitors unfold naturally, it was essential to isolate the contestants — no nearby cities, no public access, no phones. Deep in the Thar Desert, Suryagarh Palace provided the ideal mix of grandeur and seclusion.”The Indian edition of The Traitors, which has been launched in over 30 countries globally, will feature 20 contestants. Confirmed participants include Jasmine Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Uorfi Javed, Sudhanshu Pandey, and Raftaar. Ankita Lokhande, Arjun Bijlani, Shivangi Joshi, Dino Morea, and Himesh Reshammiya have also been approached for the show.Hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, the show tests trust and loyalty as players navigate alliances, suspicions, and betrayals. Among the contestants are secret traitors — selected by the host — whose job is to eliminate others without revealing their identities. The format revolves around strategy, deception, and psychological endurance.
