Rajinikanth arrived in Lucknow on Friday morning to begin shooting for his film, Petta. The actor was surrounded by nearly 40 bouncers, who accompanied him on the flight from Chennai and will be with him throughout the film shoot. This is Rajini’s first film to be shot in Uttar Pradesh.
A huge crowd had gathered at the Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport in Lucknow to see the actor and screamed out his name as soon as they spotted him coming out of the arrival lounge.
Rajini will be shooting in the UP capital for more than a month and will then also shoot portions of the film in Varanasi and Sonbhadra. The film, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui in a prominent role.
“The Lucknow police has deputed 25 constables along with a Circle Officer for Rajini sir’s security. He will also be provided with a police escort for the entire duration of his stay in the state capital,” informs Eiqbal Jaafri, the line producer of the film.
“There are more than 500 people involved in the shooting schedule and the film will be shot at Chowk, Malihabad, Sitapur and Barabanki, along with other locations in and around Lucknow,” adds Jaafri.
According to sources, the producers and Rajini are being very particular about the shoot pics not being leaked out and for that, the crew and supporting cast is being given the scenes on the day of the shoot itself and no mobile phones are being allowed on the set.
