Simbu shoots 30-day schedule in just 14 days (Lead, correcting last para)

Actor Simbu left everybody on the sets of his upcoming Tamil romantic-drama "Accham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada" stunned when he wrapped up a month-long schedule in just 14 days, despite an injury he sustained during the course of the shoot.

"The final schedule was supposed to be completed in a month, but Simbu ensured that he completed the shoot in 14 days. While the team feared the shoot might be postponed after he was injured on the sets, Simbu managed to complete everything much in advance," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Last month, Simbu sustained an injury while performing a stunt sequence.

"The injury didn't stop him from shooting. As promised early on, Simbu wanted to complete shooting and then take a break. There were days he'd shoot non-stop for many hours. The team was stunned with his commitment," he said.

Barring one song, which will be shot abroad, the rest of the talkie portion of the film, has been wrapped up.

"The song is most likely to be shot later this month. The makers are currently on the lookout for a suitable location overseas," the source added.

Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, the film also stars Manjima Mohan and has music by double Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman.
