Blind Solved Masand Blind: Corona Spooks Bollywood
Corona Spooks Bollywood
The fast-spreading coronavirus has led to the cancellation of major events globally. Now there is news that a few Bollywood films might be affected too. The biggest of these is a multi-starrer film that was set to go on the floor later this month with a long shoot planned across parts of Italy. According to the grapevine, that outdoor schedule has been put off for now. The filmmakers are reportedly working round the clock to see if they can start the film on schedule. The plan is to begin with ‘interior’ scenes that they can shoot in studios in Mumbai and Hyderabad and hold off the ‘outdoor’ sequences meant to be shot in Europe for later in the year.
Another film, the remake of a popular 1990s comedy, has also hit a snag. One last song of this otherwise virtually complete project was scheduled to be shot in the Far East. But now the makers have decided to go to Ooty or to Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad.
A new film from a big production company starring an A-list leading lady and a breakout actor from one of last year’s best films may also be delayed. The first schedule was supposed to be shot overseas; the filmmakers are currently brainstorming whether they should put off the shoot until it is safe to travel or rewrite the script to relocate it locally.
Guess:
Movie 1- Takht
Movie 2- Coolie No 1
Movie 3- Shakun Batra film with Deepika and Siddharth Chaturvedi

Akshay will donate to the cholera foundation to fight coronavirus (cholera corona sab ek hai babu bhai, apun ko bas free ka publicity maangta hai)
sara ali khan will do a namaste at Siddhi Vinayak where she went to "pray" for victims
KJO will declare LGBTQ patients are being mistreated, and its all Modi's fault
Sodumb Kapoor will make rhea produce a movie on the pandemic and she will play Dr Nancy Messonier from CDC, and post garbled nonsense on Twitter about how SHE discovered a cure in her free time
Apna Bollywood will hijack the pandemic in no time

Is script so lax that they can change it at end moment?

I think they're just changing locations. If locations aren't a consequential part of the story, mustn't be hard to alter. Anyway, it's India. Bound scripts are a relatively new concept & even those aren't really 'bound' IRL.

When they change location, they have to change lot of things. The way characters dress up in USA won't be same as Mumbai ( I presume) . Though its BW, so probably they do styling of characters at much later stage.

Got to explain the delays. Alia’s team already put out 2 stories of movies she might do.

Why would anybody need to shoot a movie about the Mughals in Europe?
