Bunty Aur Babli 2 To Resume Shoot With Song Starring 200 Dancers; Actors Want It Scaled-Down
Reportedly, Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji-starrer Bunty Aur Babli 2 will resume shooting soon, with a huge-canvas song-and-dance sequence featuring 200 dancers.
Bollywood
is
slowly
getting
ready
to
resume
shooting
on
a
regular
basis,
as
more
and
more
filmmakers
begin
shoots
on
outdoor
locations.
According
to
a
report
in
Bollywood
Hungama,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Rani
Mukerji-starrer
Bunty
Aur
Babli
2
will
resume
shooting
soon,
with
a
huge-canvas
song-and-dance
sequence
featuring
200
dancers.
According
to
the
report,
a
source
close
to
the
film
said
that
producer
Aditya
Chopra
has
"planned
an
elaborate
choreographic
confection
with
profusion
of
chorus
dancers".
However,
actors
Saif
and
Rani
are
worried
about
the
cast
and
crew's
safety.
The
source
further
added,
"They've
already
expressed
their
unhappiness
with
being
put
in
such
a
heavy
crowd
during
these
times
of
corona
contagion.
Of
course,
Aditya
Chopra
will
be
taking
every
possible
precaution.
But
Saif
and
Rani
would
rather
have
the
song
situation
scaled-down,
since
scrapping
it
is
not
possible,
as
it
comes
at
an
essential
juncture
in
the
story."
Shooting
For
Bunty
And
Babli
To
Resume
In
August
In
an
earlier
report,
Filmfare
quoted
a
source
talking
about
the
song
sequence.
The
source
said,
"The
song
is
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
film.
After
much
deliberation,
Varun
and
producer
Aditya
Chopra
decided
that
shooting
it
within
the
premises,
with
a
minimal
crew,
would
be
the
best
course
of
action.
That
way,
they
will
have
the
advantage
of
a
controlled
environment,
making
it
easier
to
adhere
to
the
guidelines.
The
track
will
be
shot
in
August
once
the
permissions
are
in
place."
The
Film's
Last
Schedule
Is
Spending
Bunty
Aur
Babli
2's
shoot
was
halted
earlier

year
because
of
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Reports
suggested
major
chunk
of
the
film
had
been
already
shot,
and
the
team
will
resume
work
for
the
final
schedule
soon.
