In the last week of July, Ranbir Kapoor met director Karan Malhotra at Yash Raj films studios to draw up a plan for the last schedule of Shamshera’s shoot.
With only a few days remaining for the patchwork shoot, the unit wanted to resume shooting for the period drama this week and had constructed a set at the Andheri studio.
However, Sanjay Dutt’s ailment has put a halt on all the laid plans. After Dutt was admitted to the Lilavati hospital following complaints of breathlessness on Saturday night, it has been heard that the director has deferred the stint.
A source reveals, “Sanjay sir has only three days’ work remaining. While he was discharged yesterday, the doctors have advised him to avoid strenuous tasks. He will rest it out for four to five days before reporting to work.”
Set in the 19th century, Shamshera has Ranbir as the leader of a dacoit tribe that revolts against British Raj with Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist. The film marks Kapoor’s first double role.
