Ibrahim Ali Khan’s forthcoming sport drama, Diler has encountered difficulties in its production timetable. As reported earlier, the director Kunal Deshmukh was planning to have a big part of its shooting in the UK.
Nonetheless, because there were increasing disturbances and anti-immigrant revolts in the country, producer Dinesh Vijan had to take an important decision to cancel the London leg entirely.
Diler makers abandon UK for Mumbai as unrest escalates; filming to start in September.
According to Mid-day report, at the end of July, this team did recce and look tests in London with a detailed shooting schedule already prepared. Nonetheless, the situation continued getting worse inside UK causing their priorities to change into protecting actors and actresses involved.
A source said that “In July-end, the team did recce and look tests in London. Kunal had lined up a straight schedule during which significant portions of the film would have been canned. But after the situation worsened, the makers felt it would be very expensive to hire exhaustive security.”
Dinesh Vijan has scrapped his shooting plan so as h is team remains safe all through everything. The producers are now on a frantic search for suitable locations within India. “For Dinesh, his unit’s safety is paramount. So he scrapped the London leg and instructed his team to consider domestic locations,” added the source scout who also revealed that scouting is currently focused on Mumbai as they hope to start shooting by first week of September.
This sudden alteration undoubtedly represents a challenge for any film but also shows how devoted Vijan is towards taking care of his crew members’ well-being. Ibrahim Ali Khans second movie after his Bollywood debut Sarzameen opposite Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran reportedly revolves around marathon runner.
