Down Under has emerged as one of the important and attractive spots for shooting Tamil films.

Australia and New Zealand, with their sprawling locations and picture perfect scenic spots, are just the right backdrop for the songs.

In fact, Nala Damayanthi was set in Australia itself.

Among others, Shankar, Susi Ganesan, Hari, Sundar C and Dharani have shot in Australia and New Zealand.

Now the Pokiri team is off to Australia to shoot a couple of songs there.

The film stars Vijay and Asin in the leads. This Prabhu Deva directed film is a remake of a Telugu flick of the same name.

The songs are being choreographed by Raju Sundaram.

Prabhu Deva has not accompanied the unit. Cameraman Nirav Shah has also joined the team.

The stay is going to be only for a few days. The team will be back in the city on December 17.
