Two senior photographers of a leading English daily and its Tamil edition were roughed up by the crew members of the Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Enthiran 2.0’ directed by Shankar during the film shoot in the city on March 22nd.

The film unit was shooting in a public place and had blocked a road in the peak hours, which caused inconvenience to the common people. On being questioned about them blocking the road and if they have a permission letter, the photojournalists were beaten up by the crew of the film. “When we asked if it was proper to inconvenience public by blocking roads especially during (morning) peak hour, two crew members used foul language against us and we were beaten up,” the photojournalists told the news agency PTI.

As per latest reports the assistant director Pappu has been arrested.
