Shooting relocated from London to Delhi

The grass is greener on the other side. This maxim cannot be more true to life as producer Vashu Bhagnani’s unit experienced it firsthand.

Vashu’s film Do Not Disturb’s shooting has been relocated from London to Delhi, owing to its scenic requirement. Vashu said that they required large stretches of green land and an idyllic farmhouse to shoot the film.
After scouting around for a long time, they still could not find a place that was spacious enough in London to shoot. Both David Dhawan and he then decided to completely change the venue rather than compromise on the film. Vashu is currently in Johannesburg, wherein his son’s film Kal Kissne Dekha, which starts filming from today.
On deciding the change of location, art director Samir Chanda was summoned for an emergency meeting to erect sets on a vast expanse of land. Vashu informed that he contacted his friend in Delhi to lend his land, which is a vast expanse of greens. Samir has done a great job in a short span of time by building the most fabulous farmhouse there.
It’s exactly what David and he need. They are ready to start rolling from June 19. The number 19 is very lucky for him and it also happened to be his birth date. So has this huge geographical shift in the shooting of the film affected the schedule? "Not at all!" denies Vashu. They were in fact supposed to start shooting in London from the 21st. Now they will start two days earlier. Also, they were going to portray the London scenes as the ones shot in Delhi, but now there is no need for the pretence. The film Do Not Disturb stars Govinda, Lara Dutta, Sushmita Sen and Riteish Deshmukh.
