Amid the rising Covid-19 cases, the shooting of several films has been put on hold and the release dates of already scheduled films have been postponed. Now, reports suggest that filmmaker and producer Aditya Chopra has stopped shooting for Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathan and Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Tiger 3. Both the movies are creating a lot of anticipation. Pathan is Shah Rukh’s comeback film after Zero and the two Khans were supposed to do cameos in each other’s films.
According to a source quoted by Mid Day, ‘The production house was cautious about testing on the sets. However, once a case was detected, they immediately decided to stop the work as the doubling rate of the city was high at that time. The crew strength of Pathan and Tiger 3 is overwhelming. In such a scenario, a large number of people will be at risk, even if one tests positive. Keeping this in mind, the directors along with producer Aditya Chopra decided to put a brake on the shoot.”
Reports also suggest that the shooting of the web series The Railway Men has also been put on hold. The series starred Irrfan Khan’s sons Babil, R Madhavan and Kay Kay Menon.
The source further told the publication, “Vidyut has been shooting for the past few days at Sunil Maidan in Film City. Akshay Kumar recently shot for a commercial in Mud Island. These examples send a strong message to the industry that there is work to be done. This time around, the industry has suffered less than the last two waves so far.”
Meanwhile, News18.com earlier reported that Shah Rukh Khan had started shooting for Tiger 3 before shooting for his film Pathan. “There is a crossover between Shah Rukh’s character in Pathan and Salman Khan’s character in Tiger 3. Shah Rukh has started shooting for his part in Tiger 3 and has given almost two weeks for it. Salman, who is currently busy with his personal commitments and Bigg Boss, will soon join his contemporary and best friend for the shoot,” a source told us.
Pathan also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles.
