CHENGALPATTU: The Sathurangapattinam panchayat sent a letter to the Archeology Department in Mamallapuram demanding an explanation for allowing the crew of Indian-2 movie to shoot in the Dutch Fort premises without any intimation to the municipality.

The action sequences for the movie were recently shot over a three-day period in the Dutch Fort located at Sathurangapattinam with actor Kamal Hassan and his crew members.

Following this, Sathurangapattinam Panchayat president Revathi has sent a letter to the department of archeology explaining that any kind of movie shoots that take place in a town, city or corporation limits should avail prior permission from the concerned authorities to do so. She also pointed out that the crew of Indian - II have not followed the protocol and added that any such movie shoots should be permitted only with the nod of the municipal authorities.
