Bollywood heroes Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt have gotten all set to release their new film Shamshera this year sooner than you think! The film is directed by Karan Malhotra and is said to be an action cum adventure film produced by Yash Raj Films.
The leading duo, Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay dutt are to be the first actors to resume shooting post the COVID-19 lockdown situation. The movie has said to have about 4 days worth patchwork shooting left.
Producer Aditya Chopra along with director Karan Malhotra have decided on opening up YRF studio in order to resume what is left of the movie’s shoot and soon terminate it.
A source reportedly mentions that, “Karan and Yash Raj Films’ head honcho Aditya Chopra have decided to film the remaining portion inside the YRF studio with limited crew, keeping the logistics and safety precautions in mind. The shoot dates have yet to be determined as the makers are awaiting an approval from the Producers’ Guild. They have also sought the permission of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees to enable daily wagers to resume work on the project.”
Another movie whose shooting was interrupted by the untimely announcement of the COVID-19 lockdown is the John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi starrer, Mumbai Saga.
Directed by Sanjay Gupta, the gangster drama was supposed to release this month but the cast and crew fall back as they are still left with around two weeks of shooting.
As the shoot starts next month, the word of confirmation is that they have taken the shoot to Hyderabad at Ramoji Rao Film City.
“We are planning to shoot in Ramoji Rao Film City as they have all the facilities and equipment required, including an in-house crew and technical staff, along with hotels for the team from Mumbai. It’s all contained within the studio premises and that cuts down on the risk,” producer Anuradha Gupta confirms.
