With heavy rains lashing Mumbai on Wednesday, the city almost came to a standstill—from the traffic to film shoots. Among the movies impacted by the downpour was Salman Khan’s Sikandar. The superstar, who has been filming the latest leg of AR Murugadoss’ directorial venture at SRPF Ground in Goregaon since the last week of August, was scheduled to shoot an elaborate action sequence. However, the team did a rethink yesterday as the scene required extensive lighting equipment, which posed the risk of a short circuit amid the rains. As a result, the production team prioritised safety and decided to pause the shoot until the conditions improved.
