Alia
Bhatt
Is
Burning
The
Midnight
Oil
A
source
told
Mid-day
that
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
was
filming
the
night
sequences
before
the
lockdown.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"To
maintain
continuity,
Sanjay
sir
picked
up
the
shoot
exactly
from
where
he
had
left
it.
Since
October
1,
Alia
and
the
team
have
been
reporting
to
the
set
by
7
pm,
and
the
stint
goes
on
till
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning."
Here's
Why
Bhansali
Is
Able
To
Shoot
Without
Any
Hiccup
The
source
further
added,
"Although
a
part
of
the
grand
set
had
been
pulled
down
ahead
of
the
monsoons,
the
portion
resembling
Kamathipura
had
been
left
untouched.
So,
the
director
has
been
able
to
shoot
without
any
hiccup."
A
Team
Of
50
Members
Has
Been
Handpicked
For
The
Shooting
To
Wrap
Up
Alia's
Parts
"A
50-member
team,
including
the
cast,
has
been
hand-picked
for
this
schedule
that
will
see
Sanjay
sir
wrap
up
Alia's
scenes.
While
television
actor
Shantanu
Maheshwari
had
filmed
his
song
before
the
lockdown,
the
shoot
of
two
more
tracks
is
on
the
cards."

The

be
essaying
the
role
of
Gangubai
Kothewali,
the
fierce

The
makers
had
unveiled
Alia
Bhatt's

year.
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and

Bhatt
were
