The shooting of Maneesh Sharma's directorial next has been postponed. The film was originally scheduled to go on floors this September.
However, writers Maneesh Sharma and Jaideep Sahni, who co-wrote the story and screenplay along with Aditya Chopra, have taken a decision to include lip-sync songs in the film.
Apparently, they weren't supposed to be a part of the film. However, the delay has led to yet another problem. The leading man Shahid Kapoor has pulled out of the film owing to other commitments. With three other projects on the trot, Shahid has not been able to readjust his schedule.
Speaking about the decision to include lip-sync songs and Shahid's opting out, director Maneesh says, "Both Jaideep and I have decided to bring in a couple of lip-sync songs which will need to be recorded before we can go on floor. However, it is sad that Shahid has understandably had to opt out because of this delay given his packed schedule going forward."
Meanwhile, the production house Yash Raj Films will work with Shahid Kapoor on another project soon.
