The shoot of actor Rajinikanth’s upcoming Tamil film Annaatthe, which has been taking place in Hyderabad over the last few weeks, had to be halted all of a sudden after eight crew members have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Multiple Tamil news channels have reported that the shoot of the film has been suspended after eight members who were working on the current schedule have tested positive. The reports have confirmed that Rajinikanth will return to Chennai later on Wednesday or early Thursday.
In his recent interaction with reporters in Chennai, Rajinikanth revealed close to 40 percent shoot is left on the project. In the movie, Rajinikanth will be seen playing a caring brother and Keerthy Suresh will be seen as his sister.
