Rajini shoots at Soundaryaâ??s native place

Rajinikanth, on Wednesday, shot a few scenes for his Sivaji at a remote village called Devasamuthiram in Karnataka. It is the native of actor Soundarya, who passed away in a helicopter mishap.

A panchayat scene was shot at the village wherein Rajinikanth and Vivek land in a helicopter at the venue. Over 250 junior artistes took part in the sequence. A huge set replicating a panchayat office was set up at the village.

Later Rajinikanth also acted in a stunt scene involving several stunt artistes.

Unlike earlier films of Rajinikanth, which were shot completely in studios and huge sets, Shankar has been canning Sivaji in several cities and villages.

Shooting for a couple of days for Sivaji in Bangalore resulted in police resorting to lathicharge to disperse the fans who gathered to see Rajinikanth.

Meanwhile, with Karnataka being his home State, here has been a huge flow of friends and well-wishers to meet Rajini. The thorough gentleman that he is, Rajini has been patiently seeing them all.
