The director is currently busy shooting for F3, the sequel to F2. The team of F3 was supposed to head to Mysore for a brief shoot from Monday, but the plan has now been dropped and the shooting will take place here in Hyderabad.

The shooting of F3 was supposed to start on the 15th of this month. However, as Anil was in isolation, the shooting of F3 had to be stalled. This is the first major Telugu film whose shooting has been disrupted due to Coronavirus.
