Rajinikanth’s Darbar not open for students; fans pelt stones on set

Mumbai: Superstar Rajinikanth, who is in Mumbai for the shooting of Darbar, is facing difficulty. 

They are apparently shooting in the premises of a college in the western suburbs. It seems the shoot had to be stalled for a while as students pelted stones on the crew. 

According to India Today's report, the team of Darbar enclosed the shooting area and told students not to click pictures or take videos of the shoot. They were not allowed to get near the shooting spot, which seems to have angered the students, who, in turn, threw stones at the crew from the terrace of the building. 

Later, filmmaker AR Murugadoss complained to the college management and is apparently contemplating a change in location.

Darbar is a cop drama and is the first collaboration between Rajinikanth and celebrated Tamil filmmaker, AR Murugadoss. The shoot for the film started on April 22 in Mumbai. Nayanthara joined him a day later. 

A few days ago, filmmaker Raghava Lawrence also paid a visit to Rajini on the sets of the movie in Mumbai.

Prateik Babbar is playing the main villain in Darbar. He had earlier said, "It is such a dream come true to have bagged this project in such little time. This year is looking very positive for me. I can’t wait to commence shooting with Rajinikanth sir and AR Murugadoss sir this week and create some magic."

In 1982, Rajini played a cop in the film Moondru Mugam. The character of Alex Pandian became a super hit one. 

Darbar is slated to release during Pongal in 2020.
