    In a report shared by ETimes it was revealed that Pathan was initially supposed to be shot at Film City on the floor where Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Brahmastra was filmed. However, the plan was changed. A source revealed, “A set of workers were assigned to set up the required look and ambience for a new schedule of 'Pathan' on the 'Brahmastra' floor soon after the set of the Ranbir Kapoor film was dismantled. They were being kept in a hotel every night, near Film City, so that they have minimum exposure to the outside world.”

    The source went on to explain, “Mindful of the dreadful and crazy second wave of COVID, Team Aditya Chopra felt that it might be impossible to carry out the shoot in the coming days in Film City as most other shoots there are cancelling by the day. They then decided that they should shoot this schedule of 'Pathan' instead in their own studios only.”

    For the uninitiated, shooting of Brahmastra came to a halt after Ranbir tested positive for novel coronavirus. Now that he has recovered, his girlfriend Alia is down with the virus.
