People from all walks of life in Chennai have been affected badly due to the onslaught of cyclone Vardah. We hear that this nature's fury has also stalled the shooting of superstar Rajinikanth's film 2.0. A source says that the crew's plan to film a sequence at an IT park in the city was thwarted owing to the strong winds.

“The team had erected a set at a popular IT park in Ambattur where several films have been shot before. An office of the Artificial Intelligence Research Centre was created there. Even a military vehicle was seen nearby. The shooting happened as per schedule on Sunday, but the crew had to quickly wrap up and evacuate the set on Monday when the wind picked up speed. The storm hit the location, leaving the set partially destroyed. This has forced the team to halt the shooting midway,“ informs the source.
