Accompanied by his assistant director M Prasad, Sukumar visited all the shooting locations and overviewed the preparation for the shooting.
Necessary permission from Malkangiri District Collector and the Superintendent of Police for shooting will be taken on May 7, reports said. The Border Security Force (BSF) will also be requested to provide security service and cooperate during the shooting.
If everything goes as per plan, the shooting would commence very soon, reports added.
