Director Hari to shoot first time abroad

Chennai, Feb 12 (IANS) Known for shooting most of his films within Tamil Nadu, director Hari Gopalakrishnan has decided to travel abroad for the first time to shoot “Singam 2”.

The film has music by Devi Sri Prasad, while Studio Green has produced it.

Southern actress Anjali has been roped in to groove to an item number in it.
