Airport authorities halt ‘Mardaani’ shoot

Rani Mukerji’s return to the big screen is something many are waiting eagerly for. However, there was a recent roadblock to her forthcoming project’s shoot, BizAsia has learnt. ‘Mardaani’, which will see Mukerji play a cop, had to have a shoot cancelled due to permission not being granted.

According to India TV news, a Yash Raj Films source said, “Rani and her co-star Jisshu Sengupta were supposed to shoot a romantic scene on the Juhu beach early in the morning on Thursday. In the evening they were supposed to do a very emotional sequence at the airport. However, the airport sequence had to be cancelled because the necessary permission was not forthcoming”. As the movie is being produced by YRF, it is thought that allegded beau of Mukerji’s, Aditya Chopra, is giving the project maximum attention.

The source continued, “Pradeep has cancelled both the shooting on the beach and the airport sequence on Thursday. He will shoot them both when the airport authorities allow shooting on the airport. In the meanwhile, a long schedule for ��Mardaani�۪ is planned in Delhi at the beginning of March”.

‘Mardaani’ is expected to release on 18th July.
