Ash forces a halt in shoot


The star forced S Shankar to scrap a shooting schedule as she was busy shooting for Mani Rathnam

S Shankar has been forced to scrap the Kulu Manali leg of the shooting of his sci-fi film Endhiran as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was busy with Mani Ratnam’s film with Abhishek.
An insider says, “The Kulu schedule which was supposed to start from November 14 just came up as Shankar wanted to shoot some portions in the scenic valleys with Rajnikanth and Aishwarya. Though Rajni was available for those days, Ash wasn’t as she had given her dates to Mani Ratnam and was shooting with her hubby Abhishek near Kochi.”
The source adds: “So, Shankar had nothing to do but to scrap the entire schedule as the scenes that were to be shot in Kulu required both the stars to be present. It is being said that he wanted to shoot a song sequence for Endhiran there.”
This change of plans has forced Shankar to start his third shooting schedule near Chennai. He is just filming these portions with Rajnikanth.
“The Chennai schedule doesn’t require Ash in it as Shankar is shooting the portion of the script that requires only Rajnikanth. He is looking to wrap up quickly and then commence his fourth schedule with Ash and Rajnikanth,” the source adds. The shooting of Endhiran began in the exotic Machu Picchu valley of Peru on September 8 this year. 
The second leg saw the crew travelling to Goa for a 10-day shooting schedule.
