They were supposed to wrap up the shoot in April 2020. However, the production got delayed due to Covid-19 outbreak. .@IamJagguBhai joins the cast of #Annaatthe.@rajinikanth @directorsiva @immancomposer #Nayanthara @KeerthyOfficial pic.twitter.com/k9ZHVLUNNx Now, it looks like, the team has resumed the shoot in Chennai.
