Chomu Palace is at a distance of 45 kilometers from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.

Director Priyadarshan's recent release film Bhoot Bangla is being compared to his own film Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The debate on this continues on social media. However, the biggest reason for this is the similar cast and story of both the films. The third link in this debate is the 350 year old palace. Be it Bhoot Bungalow or Bhool Bhulaiya, both were shot in the same palace. The name of that place is Chomu Palace.

Chomu Palace is at a distance of 45 kilometers from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. Quiet location away from the city, Rajasthani culture and its beauty add charm to every scene. Watching it on the big screen reminds of the Rajshahi era.
