Some
top
Bollywood
actors
are
gearing
up
to
be
back
on
the
sets
-
be
it
Akshay
Kumar,
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Kartik
Aaryan,
Varun
Dhawan
or
Ajay
Devgn.
Like
after
the
2020
lockdown
when
he
shot
for
Bell
Bottom
in
Scotland,
Akshay
Kumar
decided
to
take
the
lead
this
time,
too.
Filmibeat
has
learnt
from
sources
that
Akshay
Kumar
has
just
wrapped
up
the
visual
effects
(VFX)
shoot
of
his
film
Prithviraj.
The
film,
also
starring
debutante
Manushi
Chhillar,
is
being
produced
by
Aditya
Chopra
under
the
Yash
Raj
Films
banner.
We
have
learnt
that
the
VFX
shoot
of
Prithviraj
was
completed
in
a
secured
environment
at
Yash
Raj
Studios
a
few
days
ago,
with
limited
unit
members,
considering
the
COVID-19
restrictions
and
the
continuing
quasi
lockdown
in
Maharashtra.
While
Akshay
Kumar
has
just
finished
the
VFX
shoot
of
Prithviraj
at
Yash
Raj
Studios,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
is
gearing
up
to
be
back
on
the
sets
of
Pathan
at
the
same
location.
SRK
will
resume
the
shoot
schedule
of
Pathan
from
June
21,
as
the
set
is
still
under
construction
at
Yash
Raj
Studios,
our
sources
revealed.
Shah
Rukh
Khan
had
shot
for
Pathan
at
the
location
in
November
2020
and
also
April
2021
along
with
actor
John
Abraham,
who
plays
SRK's
nemesis.
The
film
stars
Deepika
Padukone
in
the
lead
opposite
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
in
their
fourth
film
together
after
Deepika's
Bollywood
debut
Om
Shanti
Om
(2007),
followed
by
Chennai
Express
(2013)
and
Happy
New
Year
(2014).
Filmibeat
has
also
learnt
that
now
that
the
VFX
shoot
of
Prithviraj
is
done,
Akshay
Kumar
will
move
to
the
sets
of
Raksha
Bandhan.
The
sets
of
the
Aanand
L
Rai
film
have
been
standing
at
Mumbai's
Goregaon
Film
City
for
nearly
a
month
now,
and
the
shooting
will
begin
in
a
bio
bubble
post
June
15,
if
all
goes
as
planned.
Actor
Ajay
Devgn,
too,
will
begin
shooting
for
his
Disney+
Hotstar
web
series
Rudra
-
The
Edge
of
Darkness
in
the
month
of
July
2021,
if
sources
are
to
be
believed.
Rudra
is
the
remake
of
the
British
psychological
crime
series
Luther
and
will
be
directed
by
Rajesh
Mapuskar.
Meanwhile,
the
younger
stars
of
Bollywood,
Kartik
Aaryan
and
Varun
Dhawan
are
also
heading
back
to
work.
Actor
Kartik
Aaryan
is
waiting
to
start
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2
post
lockdown
as
soon
as
Mumbai
falls
under
the
Level
2
category
in
the
new
COVID-19
restrictions,
say
our
sources,
while
Varun
Dhawan
will
travel
back
to
Arunachal
Pradesh
for
the
shoot
of
his
werewolf
film
Bhediya,
directed
by
Amar
Kaushik.
Bhediya
will
resume
shoot
on
June
26.
COVID-19
Vaccination
The
Federation
of
Western
India
Cine
Employees
(FWICE)
is
making
sure
all
the
technicians
involved
get
COVID-19
vaccination
on
priority
before
the
shooting
of
these
Bollywood
films
and
web
series
begins.
Yash
Raj
Films
had
also
recently
sponsored
a
vaccination
drive
for
30,000
registered
members
of
the
FWICE
through
the
Yash
Chopra
Foundation
in
Mumbai,
and
has
also
made
sure
its
employees
and
crew
members
have
got
the
shot.
On
June
11,
Ajay
Devgn's
NY
Foundation
held
a
vaccination
drive
in
the
city
for
daily
wagers
from
the
entertainment
industry
and
media
professionals.
Another
vaccination
drive
was
held
for
entertainment
journalists
by
Don
Cinema
owner
Mehmood
Ali.
Looks
like
the
industry
is
taking
small
but
sure
steps
to
get
back
to
work
in
the
new
normal.
