The Annaatthe shooting, which was hampered by the coronavirus-induced lockdown, resumed in the second week of December. Production started in Hyderabad, with Rajinikanth, Nayanthara and others.
Rajinikanth had taken a chartered flight to Hyderabad together with his daughter Aishwarya Dhanush.
Production is in its last stage and the filmmakers had planned to finish it in a single section. Written and directed by Siva, Annaatthe boasts an all-star supporting cast that includes Khushbu, Meena, Prakash Raj, Sathish, and Soori.
