Thank God starring Sidharth Malhotra, Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh was set to begin shooting from mid-April 2021 however the filming has been pushed back due to the pandemic.
Thank
God
starring
Sidharth
Malhotra,
Ajay
Devgn,
Rakul
Preet
Singh
was
set
to
begin
shooting
from
mid-April
2021
but
the
filming
has
been
pushed
back
due
to
the
second
wave
of
Coronavirus
cases.
According
to
reports,
the
makers
finished
working
on
the
script
in
2019
and
did
the
mahurat
shot
of
the
film
in
Mumbai
in
January
2021.
While
the
film
has
been
in
the
pre-production
(planning)
stage
for
two
years,
the
filming
delay
has
caused
the
makers
hefty
losses.
A
Bollywood
Hungama
report
revealed
that
makers
had
built
a
set
for
the
film
which
had
to
dismantle
due
to
delay
in
production.
A
source
told
the
portal,
the
makers
chose
to
incur
the
Rs
2
crore
loss
of
dismantling
the
set
as
other
options
could
cost
them
higher
losses.
The
source
said,
"A
gigantic
set
for
the
film
was
already
made
in
Film
City.
A
bit
of
it
was
also
being
readied
by
the
side
as
the
team
worked
on
beginning
the
shoot
for
the
first
schedule.
But
when
the
new
restrictions
were
put
forward
by
the
Maharashtra
Government
in
April,
the
makers
already
predicted
it
would
last
longer
than
what
it
was
initially
planned
for."
"The
choice
was
clear:
either
they
had
to
wait
it
out
till
they
could
shoot
and
pay
rent
for
the
set
per
day
OR
dismantle
it
and
lose
around
approx.
Rs.
2
crores.
They
chose
the
latter
because
given
the
situation,
had
they
not
brought
down
the
set,
the
loss
would
have
been
many
times
higher,"
the
source
concluded.
Siddharth
Malhotra
was
set
to
begin
filming
for
Thank
God
mid-2021
after
he
wrapped
up
the
shoot
for
Mission
Majnu.
Meanwhile,
Ajay
Devgn
has
been
busy
with
other
projects
like
directorial
Mayday
with
Amitabh
Bachchan.
However,
all
projects
in
production
have
been
halted
all
across
Maharashtra
due
to
the
surge
in
COVID-19
cases.
Notably,
Thank
God,
directed
by
Indra
Kumar
is
produced
by
Bhushan
Kumar,
Krishan
Kumar,
Ashok
Thakeria,
Sunir
Kheterpal,
Deepak
Mukut,
Anand
Pandit
and
Markand
Adhikari
and
co-produced
by
Yash
Shah.
