The shooting for the film was interrupted due to the pandemic and it resumed only on December 14 at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. Directed by Siruthai Siva, Annaatthe is a rural entertainer featuring Nayanthara and Keerthy Suresh in important roles.
Rajinikanth’s publicist Riaz Ahmed told IndiaToday.in: “Eight crew members have tested Covid-19 positive. It is unclear if Rajinikanth would come back to Chennai or quarantine himself in Hyderabad. Further details are awaited.”
