A crowd thronged the Thiruvanmiyur railway station on the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) not to take a train, but to catch a glimpse of a film shoot that was taking place there on Sunday.
A huge crowd gathered on platform 1 of the station to watch the shooting for a Tamil movie.
The shooting was taking place on platform 2.
The shoot in the midst of regular operations of the suburban train services did not go down well with a section of commuters.
Some of them complained of the unsafe manner in which the shooting was being done on the aisle of the platform, which was causing hindrance to the movement of commuters.
Safety issues
Some commuters also faulted the Railway authorities for allowing a film shoot on the platform as it raised serious safety issues.
N. Raman, a resident of Thiruvanmiyur, said the film crew were seen on both platforms of the railway station and the equipment was lying all over the place, causing inconvenience to commuters.
A senior Southern Railway official said permission to shoot the movie was given for Saturday night.
The crew should have wound up their work on Sunday morning.
Due to certain issues, it was prolonged for a few hours, he added.
