Kareena
Kapoor
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
have
become
shoot-stoppers
now!
Everyone
wants
to
see
the
hottest
lovebirds
in
B-Town.
Last
week,
when
both
were
shooting
for
Rensil
D'
Silva's
untitled
debut
film
(produced
by
Karan
Johar)
in
Delhi,
a
huge
crowd
kept
gathering
until
the
administration
brought
things
under
control.
Says
a
unit
member,
"Last
Sunday,
when
Saif
and
Kareena
started
shooting
for
Rensil's
film
at
India
Gate
at
7
am,
it
was
reasonably
peaceful
and
empty.
But
as
word
got
around
(and
it
being
a
holiday),
a
huge
strong
crowd
gathered
from
the
Rajpath
right
down
to
India
Gate
making
it
almost
impossible
for
Saif
and
Kareena
to
shoot.
Not
many
stars
can
shoot
at
Rajpath
and
India
Gate,
as
it's
a
crowded
place.
Aamir
Khan
shot
there
during
Rang
De
Basanti
but
even
he
didn't
garner
this
huge
a
crowd!
When
Saif
and
Kareena
turned
up
it
was
almost
as
if
all
of
Delhi
had
turned
up!
It
was
madness
with
the
unit
trying
to
control
the
crowd.
Saif
and
Kareena
couldn't
step
out
as
the
crowd
kept
yelling
and
screaming." The
source
adds,
"This
was
Saif
and
Kareena's
first
shoot
at
Rajpath
and
India
Gate
and
even
the
crew
wasn't
expecting
a
mammoth
turnout.
The
duo
came
on
the
sets
at
7
am
and
gave
a
couple
of
shots
after
which
the
crowd
got
wind
of
what
was
going
on
and
then
shooting
became
impossible.
Line
producer
Mariket
had
to
finally
jump
into
the
field
along
with
the
security
guards
and
request
the
crowd
to
remain
in
control.
After
much
persuasion,
they
managed
to
clear
the
masses
and
complete
the
shoot.
Fortunately,
the
crowd
wasn't
unruly
but
very
well-behaved." Saif
says,
"It's
a
public
place
and
there
are
bound
to
be
people.
The
crowds
were
very
well
behaved
and
treated
us
with
respect.
I
love
shooting
in
Delhi
as
it
has
great
hotels
and
great
food.
One
can
work
in
the
day
and
relax
at
night.
Delhi
is
a
great
place
to
stay
for
a
short
while." While
Kareena
adds,
"Shooting
in
Delhi
was
nice
but
hectic
and
crowded
with
so
many
people
consisting
of
the
fans
and
paparazzi
following
us
around."
Producer
Karan
Johar
says,
"A
big
crowd
had
collected
at
India
Gate
and
Rajpath
but
eventually,
we
managed
to
complete
the
shoot.
We
had
the
required
permits
and
adequate
security
who
handled
the
situation
extremely
well.
The
shooting
was
bang
in
the
middle
of
Rajpath
but
everything
was
well
managed."
Is
Rensil's
film
called
Jehaad?
