The sequel to the 2004 hit Masti, titled Grand Masti was set to begin shooting earlier this week. However, owing to Riteish Deshmukh's father Vilasrao Deshmukh's ailing health, the film's shooting has been delayed by a few days.
A source close to the project was quoted saying that the film has been in the writing process for the last one and a half years and was supposed to kick start this week however; with Riteish's father being unwell, he cannot be expected to act funny at a time like this.
Producer Ashok Thakeria was quoted saying that they are hoping to start shooting from 9th and that considering that they've waited 8 years to start the sequel, a little bit of a delay is not a big deal.
The film, directed by Indra Kumar, will have Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani reprising their roles from the original.
