Nagarjuna plays an NIA officer in his next film Wild Dog
The shooting of Nagarjuna and Saiyami Kher-starrer "Wild Dog", which was scheduled to take place in Thailand, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus epidemic. Thailand has confirmed 25 cases until now. The outbreak of coronavirus has caused the deaths of 490 people in China until the last midnight. The deadly virus outbreak started from Wuhan City in China and has infected many across the world. India too has confirmed cases of the virus in Kerala.
Sharing the update, Saiyami said: "I was training in Mixed Martial Arts over the past month for the action sequences, and was looking forward to the long schedule in Thailand. But they have postponed the shoot as they didn't want to take the risk with such a big crew."
"Wild Dog", which is being directed by Solomon, is said to be inspired by true events.
Excited to be part of a true life inspired drama after a long time. Playing a NIA officer!!
