No
matter how far Rajini goes. Fans will follow
him like his other self. This may sound
like a cliché to you and me, but
not to Shankar who learnt a lesson or two
in this chapter. With shooting in Chennai
becoming increasingly tough with the superstar,
Shankar decided to pick Pune as his alternative
to can the shoots of Sivaji – which
is known to us already. But unfortunately,
the undaunted Shankar's fallacy failed him
during the shoots of Sivaji in Pune recently.
The crowd was not lesser even by a single
person in Pune than it was in Chennai.
Impressed
by the picturesque landscape and the
serene beauty of Pune and the surrounding
villages, Shankar chose the place
as a perfect hideaway shooting spot.
But the fecundity was far less than
expected. Though the shoots were perfect,
the fan following was not any less
as mentioned earlier.
Nightmare followed him in Pune during
the two schedules. The first schedule
shoots were carried out in Panchgani,
Satara, and Vai villages in interior
Pune. The crew visited Cyber City
in Pune again for the second schedule
of shoots and for canning the climax
scene.
Thronging
fans, squeaking and squealing to get a glimpse
of their star proved to be a frightening
experience for Shankar who thought his life
would be easier away from Chennai.
If India is head over heels for Rajini,
Spain proved nothing less. Unfortunate Shankar
had to face the mobbing fans in Spain as
well during the shoots.
Now though, after the hard-hitting second
schedules the crew is back from Pune.
