Two photojournalists were reportedly manhandled on the sets of Rajinikanth's upcoming science-fiction action film '2.0'. One of the photojournalists, Ragunathan, said that bouncers at the insistence of the film's assistance director assaulted him and his colleague. "They were not following rules. You can't shoot in public place after 6 am. It was 8 am and they were still shooting. By not following rules, they were causing lot of problems for the public. I clicked photos to make them realise it. The bouncers quickly surrounded me. Even before I could ask them to move, I was assaulted."
Ragunathan said he and his colleague had filed a police complaint against the film's assistant director and some members of the crew. However, he said they withdrew it after they were approached by the film's team. A source said the film's shooting was going on at the Triplicane neighbourhood which caused a massive commotion. "When two photojournalists tried to click pictures, the assistant director and some crew members attacked them. This forced the journalists to file a police complaint," the source said. A sequel to 2010 blockbuster 'Enthiran', the film is being directed by Shankar and is on the verge of completion. The film also stars Amy Jackson, Akshay Kumar and Sudhanshu Pandey.
