While casting an immense star helps boost a film's viability, it may possibly also prove to be a bane. As producer Vinod Bachchan has learnt. In keeping with the producer, Sanjay Dutt, who's a part of his next film, has kept three days of filming on hold.
A source says that although Dutt had allotted the dates to Bachchan, he needed to cancel them to prioritise Ram Gopal Varma's film. "Ramu required a few days from Sanjay, who did not have any free slots. He gave four dates to Ramu that were earlier slotted for Vinod.
Besides, Sanjay's business manager and associate Dharam Oberoi may be a co-producer of Ramu's film," explains our source. Another source says that they are not getting Sanjay's dates for April either. He adds, "Sanjay is currently shooting with Ajay Devgn for the latter's production in Patiala.
After his return to Mumbai, he's going to fulfill his commitment to Ramu. He'll then wrap up Vinod's film." The source further adds, "Bharat Shah could also be interested in the production as he's financing and presenting the film. So he's also worried concerning the delay."
Dharam Oberoi, however, maintained that RGV's film is complete. "Sanjay is currently shooting for Ajay's production, and can wrap up his work this month. As for Vinod Bachchan's film, Sanjay will complete it after returning to Mumbai."
However, Bachchan claims RGV's film was prioritised over his. He states, "I HAVE BEEN told that Sanjay Dutt is giving dates early April to finish my film." Our source maintains that it's going to take a minimum of a few weeks before Dutt shoots for Bachchan's production as he has a specific search for the film.
