Ranveer Singh appears to be dealing with a coarse patch in his career. He first loses the role in Bombay Velvet to Ranbir Kapoor in what can only described as an overnight changeover, after which suffers a slightly serious back injury on location in Dalhousie for Lootera which the producers are attempting hard to minimize.
But the facts regarding Ranveer’s back injury are rather grim
Says a source very on the subject of Lootera, “The injury is unquestionably not minor. Back injuries during action sequences seldom are. Ranveer was prescribed complete bed rest in order for his back problem doesn’t get chronic, how it did for Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar. ”
The actor most immediately suffering from Ranveer’s injury is Sonakshi Sinha whose choc-a-block date diary can hardly take any such sudden setback.
According to sources, the producers of Lootera are an indefinite postponement of all of the snow schedule which occupies the second-half of the plot.
Says a source, “The Kashmir schedule of Lootera was to happen in January. However the snowfall was so dense this year that the schedule was postponed to a time when the snow in Dalhousie could be more manageable. Now when the crew returned to Dalhousie to shoot the snow portions of the plot, the injury happened. ”
Now apparently Lootera must look forward to the following year’s snowfall before the second-half can also be shot.
Another option being examined is to shoot in a studio in artificial snowfall.
Says a source, “In fact doing so is strongly recommended to director Vikramaditya Motwane by his erstwhile mentor Sanjay Leela Bhansali who needed to return from Shimla from a schedule of Black without shooting in the snow, as real snow congeals at the camera lens.
In fact it’s amazing how the makers of Lootera thought they may shoot in heavy snowfall for the sort of long spell. It’s not only health hazard for the crew but just not a camera-friendly thing to do. ”
So would Lootera be shot in artificial studio-induced snow?
Not quite. Because by the point Ranveer Singh is up and doing a able to shoot (a process that can take anything from 2 to 4 months) Sonakshi could be shooting elsewhere. Once Ranveer recuperates he starts shooting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Kareena Kapoor for Ram Leela. ”
This leaves Lootera in a bleak spot, present tense, future most imperfect.
We tried going in touch with Ranveer after which his business manager. Both remained unavailable for comment.
