Just three says short of completion for Gangubai Kathiawadi when the second wave of Covid-19 forced a lockdown in Maharashtra.
Just three says short of completion for Gangubai Kathiawadi when the second wave of Covid-19 forced a lockdown in Maharashtra. And now Sanjay Leela Bhansali is stuck as there is no hope of a quick changeover in the current deadlock.
Says a source close to the project, “Gangubai Kathiawadi needs only three more shooting days. It’s part of a background song filmed on Alia Bhatt—she has no lip-sync songs in this film—which is almost complete. Bhansali was on the verge of completing it when shooting was called off.”
Apparently the lavish set at Film City will be up until the remaining shooting is done.
“It’s costing the co-producers Bhansali and Jayantilal Gada close to 3 lakh rupees per day to keep the set from being demolished. This works out less uneconomical than re-constructing the set when shooting resumes.”
And when do the producers expect to resume and complete the remaining song?
“Not anytime soon. Even if the lockdown ends Bhansali has decided to take no risks by resuming the shoot immediately. He won’t complete that remaining 3-day shooting until the second wave of the Covid declines,” the source informs.
