The Coronavirus outbreak is disrupting entertainment events in Tollywood and around the world. It is known news that Sukumar planned to shoot Allu Arjun starrer #AA20 in Bangkok after Andhra Pradesh government refused them permission to shoot in Seshachalam forests. As Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer is set in the Red Sanders backdrop, most of it has to be shot in the forest area only. Later Sukumar and team scouted few locations in Kerala and even obtained permission to shoot the movie but now the government has cancelled the permission. Now according to the latest buzz, the shoot of SS Rajamouli’ directorial venture RRR starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan is being affected by Covid-19.
As Rajamouli’ RRR is based on the pre-independence era and the film has number of foreigner stars. So the shoot is getting affected. Recently the government said all existing visas, except diplomatic, official, international organizations, employment, project visas, have been suspended till 15th April.
Our Country India decided to bar the entry of foreigners and kept on hold visa free facility granted to Overseas Citizen of India cardholders from 1200 GMT Friday adding to measures to combat Covid-19 pandemic. So due to the moves to contain Covid-19, now the film makers can’t take foreigners as expected, which is giving shock to Rajamouli.
The reports are coming that Rajamouli is planning to fly Goa in the search of foreigners who lives there. He is planning to rope them in RRR for the shoot. Some foreigner actors including Olivia Morris might miss out the shoot of RRR.
