Director Sukumar recovering well from dengue

The shooting of the Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa was carrying on at a rapid pace until everything came to a sudden, though brief, halt after the film’s director Sukumar was diagnosed with dengue.

While we were told that there could be further delay in the shooting depending on Sukumar’s recovery period, the film’s producer Ravi Shankar now assures us that the former’s symptoms were only mild.

“The shooting was halted for just three days. But the director has recovered completely. Sukumar is raring to go and will join the sets from Monday and resume the shoot,” adds Ravi Shankar.
