Around 40 days of shoots are left to shoot only after the rainy season. Despite Maharashtra government’s permission to resume shooting by following SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), the makers have decided to wait and watch as they don’t want to take any risk this time and resume shooting. want to stop.”
The source further revealed that there are some important scenes which are yet to be shot, “These are important scenes which were put on hold. There are some crowd sequences that need to be shot which are being planned as the makers do not want anyone to contract the virus again. There is also a part of Dubai that remains. The makers are considering whether to shoot it here or take a limited crew to Dubai and shoot there.”
