Wednesday, 1st April 2015, 3:58 PM IST Director Kabir Khan was all set to shoot a 40-day schedule of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ in Kashmir. But, it was said that Kashmir floods might play a spoil sport for the film. But, Kabir is all set to fly down to the city to shoot the film. His actors Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui will visit the valley at different periods during the shoot. Kabir said, "The skies are clearing up. And if the weather does get bad, we'll delay the shoot by four-five days, it can't last for a month-and-a-half. It takes time to set up and I'm not going to relocate. Of course, if there are floods again we won't be able to shoot. But the director has been talking to his local line-producer there who has assured him that the situation on the ground is under control." “People are just scared because of the last floods and are over-reacting. The media is adding to the fear psychosis and doing a great disservice to the people there. If tourists shy away and producers who wanted to shoot their films in the valley, change their plans, it will hurt the poor locals," he added. Even the locals of Kashmir were excited about Salman’s visit to the valley. Kabir said, "Not just Salman, it's time for film business to return to Kashmir. I filmed ‘Phantom’ in Pahalgam earlier with local talent and expertise. It was a wonderful experience which is why I decided to go back to the valley for the last schedule of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’." It is said that after the floods the basic commodities rates have gone high. When Kabir was asked if due to price hike his film’s budget will also go high, he said, "If the budget does go up, so be it. My story demands this location and I'm committed to filming in Kashmir. Period." Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp | |||
