Rajinikanth had traveled to Hyderabad last week

The shooting of Annaatthe, which was initially affected by the coronavirus pandemic-induced lockdown earlier this year, was resumed in the second week of December. The production began in Hyderabad, with Rajinikanth, Nayanthara and others. The 70-year-old superstar had last week taken a chartered flight to the city along with his daughter Aishwarya Dhanush to work on the project.

Rajinikanth to focus on politics after completing this film

Touted to be a rural drama, Annaatthe is being directed by Siruthai Siva. It also features actors Khushbu, Meena, Prakash Raj, Sathish, and Soori. Rajinikanth was last seen on the silver screen playing an angry cop in Darbar. He is now looking to quickly wrap up his film duties to focus on his highly-anticipated political plunge ahead of the 2021 Tamil Nadu elections.
