Tuesday, 13th May 2014, 03:45 PM IST Vikramaditya Motwane had intended to start shooting for his upcoming film ‘Bhavesh Joshi’ in December last year with Imran Khan playing the lead role, but an abrupt change in cast led to a delay.
Later, Sidharth Malhotra replaced Imran, and Motwane thought he would start shooting this monsoon. However, the film has now hit another roadblock.
Apparently, Karan Johar's Dharma Productions is making a film with Sidharth in the lead and it is expected to goon floors next month.
A source close to the development said, “Motwane is currently busy with the pre-production and he was hoping to get the much-delayed project back on track by July. However, KJo recently had a chat with him and told him that he required Sidharth for his film which begins around the same time.”
Motwane had no option but to push his film to a later date. The source further added, “A major chunk of his time went into redeveloping the script to suit Sidharth. The team which had earlier worked on the look with Imran in mind was also working overtime to ensure the film keep sits date with the monsoons. But now it seems they will begin only by December.” In the meantime, Motwane is planning to make as mall film. The source informed, “He's mentioned it to the team several times.Unlike ‘Bhavesh Joshi’, it's a relatively easier project to pull off. He'll take a final call only when there is more clarity on Sidharth's dates.” |
