Around 40 percent of the shooting was stuck for nearly a year owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The production started again, last December only to be canceled just after two weeks. The shooting in Hyderabad came to an immediate halt after crew members tested positive for coronavirus. While four crew members tested positive for the virus, Rajinikanth had tested negative. Regardless, the stress had affected fluctuations in his blood pressure level, needing hospitalization.Rajinikanth spent a few days under the observation of doctors at a hospital in Hyderabad before he canceled the rest of the schedule and returned to Chennai for complete rest. After recovering his health, Rajinikanth returned to the sets of Annaatthe during the first week of April this year. He shot for the film non-stop for 35 days and completed his portions before the second wave of coronavirus forced the country into another lockdown. The film is written and directed by Siva. Annaatthe also features Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Khushboo, and Prakash Raj. Superstar Rajinikanth Career life:
