The shooting of Nanban is going forward at jet-speed as the producers are sticking to the special occasions of Christmas or Pongal to release the film. Unlike his previous films, Shankar is not willing to take any breaks between the schedules as the dialogues and script works were completed during pre-production phase itself.

Another reason behind the fast-process of shooting is because actors Vijay, Jiiva, and Ileana cannot afford to give long call sheet due to their other commitments. Soon after finishing this film, Vijay will start shooting for AR Murugadoss’s project while Jiiva and Ileana have multiple projects in hand.

It is worth mentioning the film will have 109 scenes amongst which most of them are new and different from 3 Idiots.

According to the sources, the entire film, including post production works, is likely to wrapped up by end of November.
