Pawan will begin shooting with the flyover sequence, and its location is 500 meters from Hyderabad. "We couldn't find the right location in either Chennai or Hyderabad. I found this flyover 500 meters from Hyderabad and I will be shooting in that town. The rest of U-Turn’s schedule has been planned for March, April and may extend to May," he says.
