The unit of actress Samantha’s much-awaited pan-India mythological magnum opus, Shaakuntalam, wrapped up the film’s entire shooting formalities yesterday. The final schedule concluded in Hyderabad, with director Gunasekhar canning a few crucial talkie scenes and a battle episode on the film’s hero Dev Mohan, who plays King Dushyant in the movie.
Samantha had wrapped up shooting for her part in Shaakuntalam in the second week of August. The post-production team, led by Gunasekhar, will start working on the visual effects very soon.
