바카라œIt is true that we lost a lot of footage. We were shocked that something like this could even happen. It was about 21 days of footage. I should say it happened because of irresponsibility. And, it was unfortunate. We had shot a cricket match, and it was a ten-camera set-up. We wanted to shoot it like it was a real cricket match. We missed the footage of all the twenty cameras. We didn바카라™t know what to do.바카라

So, we couldn바카라™t reshoot it. In the end, we re-edited the film with whatever was left. It was challenging. Though Vishnu and Appa were cooperative and ready to do it again, we couldn바카라™t shoot all of it again.바카라 She also mentioned that there were budget constraints and logistics involved, and it wouldn바카라™t have been an easy feat regardless.

바카라œWe couldn바카라™t completely shoot, but took a few shots and managed the rest. It was a huge compromise. Maybe, it was meant to happen. We need to be more careful,바카라 she stated.
