Now, after all the prep and pre-production work, the makers of Atrangi Re kickstarted its shoot in Varanasi today (March 5). 

According to reports, Sara and Dhanush will begin the filming in Varanasi first. Akshay, who is currently gearing up for the release of Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi, will join the team in April post fulfilling his prior commitments. Speaking of Sara's character, the buzz has it that the actress will be seen in dual roles as the film will travel parallelly in two different eras. Akshay will reportedly sport a different look that is being worked on. Atrangi Re marks Dhanush's reunion with Aanand after Raanjhanaa in 2013.
