According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, a source close to the film had been quoted saying, “Both Ayan and Ranbir have decided to make the safety and well-being of the team their priority. They do not want to put them at any kind of risk. So, for now, the shoot has been shifted to April.”

The team was to finish some sequences by March end itself and it is not even sure if the team can resume shoot in April. Well, it was definitely in the best interest of the entire cast and crew, but that also means that fans would have to now wait longer for the film.
