It’s been pouring crazy in
Dubai
for the last couple of days, and officials have been working round the clock to clear up flooded roads. Several flights have either been delayed, cancelled or diverted. Among the travelers who got caught in the situation was
Atharvaa
, who was en route
Azerbaijan
to shoot for his film with director
Kannan. The actor spent over 24 hours at the Dubai airport, waiting for the runway to clear up.
A source in the know says, “Atharvaa had left Chennai on Saturday and he had a connecting flight to Azerbaijan at Dubai. However, the runway at the Dubai airport was completely submerged in water because of the deluge. The actor had no other option but to wait for over 24 hours before he could catch his next flight.”
Kannan, who reached Baku (capital of Azerbaijan) five days ago, confirms, “Atharvaa was supposed to join us on Sunday, but because of the flood situation in Dubai, he was stuck at the airport, with no other means of travel. He took a flight on Monday and reached Baku by noon. He’s joined
Amitash Pradhan, Anupama Parameswaran and Aadukalam Naren and we started shooting the same day. This current schedule will go on till January 28 and post that, it’s a wrap for the film.”
