Shoot of Dhanush's 'D51' causes traffic in Tirupati, police halt shoot

Dhanush

Actor Dhanush is currently shooting for his upcoming Tamil film 'D51'(temporary title). The latest schedule of the film is being shot in the town of Tirupati. However, the actor and his team landed in trouble as their shoot caused massive traffic disruption in the town. In a video that is being circulated, Dhanush can be seen sporting a rugged look and unkempt hair and beard. The scene has been set up in a market area and the actor is seen shooting in the middle of a busy street.

In the video, a crowd started gathering once Dhanush came on location to film his scenes. Owing to the large crowd that gathered to watch the shoot, a massive traffic was caused. The police then diverted devotees headed to the temple in a different direction. This caused major inconvenience to several that left people angry.

According to a report in India Today, angry devotees went to the police station to complaint about the inconvenience. Taking action for the complaints received, the police asked the crew to stop the shoot. The team of 'D51' had earlier acquired the required permissions to shoot in the public space.

The actor later also visited Tirupati temple.
