A source close to the production house told Indian Express that no major harm or loss happened as the team was well prepared. The source continued that since they are shooting at a resort, the set-up outside was minimal.

The source said, “Since the time the forecast happened, we were ready with resources. The rains came suddenly but we managed to save all the equipment. We resumed shoot indoors and filmed later in the garden once the weather was better.”
