Unpredictable
weather
has
made
shooting
in
Mumbai
like
Russian
Roulette.
After
Madhur
Bhandarkar
who
had
to
postpone
his
outdoor
schedule
in
Mumbai
for
Dil
To
Bachcha
Hai
Jee,
it
is
Vashu
Bhagnani"s
turn
to
suffer
due
to
erratic
and
heavy
rains.
A
part
of
the
shooting
meant
to
take
place
in
Mumbai
would
now
have
to
be
done
in
Shimla.
Explaining
the
sudden
trans-location
which
would
mean
an
added
cost
of
at
least
20
lakh
rupees
for
his
son
Jackky"s
re-launch
film
producer
Vashu
explains,
“We
had
planned
some
songs
and
scenes
in
Khandala.
But
the
weather
Gods
did
us
in.
The
monsoon
in
Maharashtra
has
become
dangerously
moody.
It
is
impossible
to
shoot
outdoors
in
the
rains.
Earlier
we
had
downpours.
Shooting
got
delayed
for
an
hour
and
then
it
was
fine".
But
this
monsoon
is
different.
“We
just
can"t
shoot
in
the
rains.
When
the
rain
begins
it
goes
on
for
the
whole
day.
We
realized
that
it
was
impossible
to
shoot
in
Khandala.
So
we"re
moving
to
Simla
which
looks
a
lot
like
Khandala.
Believe
me,
Simla
which
was
supposed
to
have
erratic
weather
conditions
is
far
more
predictable
than
Maharashtra
these
days."
Luckily
Vashu
has
a
director
who
doesn"t
delay
shooting.
Says
the
producer,
“The
choreographer
Remo
is
as
disciplined
in
direction
as
he"s
in
dancing.
He
doesn"t
waste
time
or
resources.
When
our
schedule
in
Khandala
didn"t
work
out
he
quickly
relocated
to
Simla.
I
am
done
with
wasteful
directors".
The
Simla-as-Khandala
schedule
starts
as
soon
as
Vashu"s
son
Jackky
returns
from
the
World
Cup
finals.
Says
Vashu,
“I
met
my
son
at
the
airport.
I
landed
from
Bangkok.
He
was
on
the
way
to
South
Africa".
