Behind-the-scenes visuals from the set suggest the duo was shooting a romantic scene. Vijay Sethupathi was seen sporting a black T-shirt and blue jeans, while Sai Pallavi appeared in an elegant red gown paired with high heels. Mani Ratnam was spotted guiding the actors between takes and closely supervising the shoot into the early hours of the morning.
The film, currently titled "Madras Talkies Production No. 23," marks Ratnam's return to filming in Kolkata after more than two decades. His last major shoot in the city was for the 2004 political drama Yuva, which featured scenes filmed around Vidyasagar Setu.
