'Singam 3' shoot delayed due to rain

The principal shooting of Suriya-starrer Tamil actioner "Singam 3", which was supposed to start last week in Vishakhapatnam, has been delayed indefinitely due to the grave situation caused by heavy downpour in Tamil Nadu.

"The shooting had to be called off due to the rains. Furthermore, Suriya sir was stuck in Indonesia last week as he couldn't return to the city because of the bad weather. Hence, we decided to postpone the shoot," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Not sure about when the film will go on floors now, the source said it might take a while.

"Everybody is busy volunteering, including Suriya sir, whose house here was inundated with knee-deep water. This may take a few weeks or even months," the source said.

To be directed by Hari, the film is the third part in the highly successful "Singam" franchise.

Anushka Shetty and Shruti Haasan are playing the female leads in the movie.

Harris Jayaraj has been roped in to compose the music for the film, which is being produced by Suriya's home banner 2D Entertainment.
