The COVID-19 situation has brought about a lot of changes in Bollywood. In an atmosphere that is tinctured with negativity, Bollywood has literally found itself embroiled in all sorts of controversies and losses. Well, with no new films hitting the theatres, with no theatres showing signs of re-opening, everyone in Bollywood is on tenterhooks.
With the Coronavirus scare at hand, many directors and producers are reworking their schedules and looking for a new set of dates from the actors. However, director Priyadarshan says he is almost forced to shoot the remaining schedule of Hungama 2 in the month of September. Shilpa Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Meezan Jafri and Pranita Subhash will be seen in the film whose shoot came to a grinding halt due to the lockdown imposed by the government.
Priyadarshan told Mid-Day, the film has four children in some unique roles and in the span of four months, all of them who are aged between eight and eleven have been growing in height and therefore, the film might end up having a continuity issue because of which, the director of the film has decided, he will be resuming the 15-day shoot schedule for the film by the 15th of September, ’20.
Priyadarshan told Mid-Day, “At this age, children grow up rapidly; there are changes in facial structure and height. While the physical changes that have happened in the past four months will not make a huge difference on screen, it will be difficult [to retain continuity] if we have to wait for some more months. Fortunately, only a song has to be shot with them.”
The shoot will be taking place in Kullu and Manali. Besides the four kids there is a baby too who has been cast in the film and the producer of the film Ratan Jain told the publication, the portions of the baby have already been shot and the other children will be required just for four days on the set. The producer further revealed, the songs and sequences required them to film on the streets of Kullu and Manali and that the government has already granted them permission to shoot with the required safety precautions.
He further told the publication, that because an outdoor schedule is not possible during the monsoon, they would be likely to resume work from 15th September, ’20.
