The pandemic disrupted the shoot schedules of many films and one of them was Shakun Batra‘s untitled film featuring Deepika Padukone, Siddharth Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday. The filmmaker had plans of heading to Sri Lanka for the shoot of the film with the cast. With restrictions on travel being eased in phases over the past few weeks, the filmmaker was thinking of flying to the island country in November. However, now, according to a report by MidDay, Shakun has apparently chalked out a plan that will let him take his untitled domestic noir thriller on floors by the next month.
According to the publication, a source revealed—
The makers are planning to shoot the first leg in Goa over a 25-day schedule. Deepika, Siddhant, Ananya and the rest of the cast will fly down to the beach state in the second week of September to kick off the proceedings. The unit has begun working on the pre-production and will ensure that safety guidelines are followed.
The report also states that the director and producer, Karan Johar will decide whether the shoot will be conducted in Sri Lanka or in Goa, depending on how the situation improves.
The film is said to be a romantic drama about the complexities of love and relationships, and is one film and star cast I am looking forward to watching!
