Bollywood town beats the floods
Shootings went on despite the rains
Mumbai: Though rains created havoc in Mumbai last week, it was business as usual for Bollywood. Whether it was Salman Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra for Bajirao Mastani, shooting went on despite the rains.
However, the week’s big release ABCD 2, which opened to a rousing audience all over the country, was hit by the Mumbai rains. But director Remo d’Souza was quite happy that the film was on the way to becoming a blockbuster in spite of the monsoonal setback.
“I am really happy that we managed to make such an impact in spite of the rains. I see the rains as blessings for the film from God,” Remo remarked happily on Sunday as Mumbai continued to reel under the wet spell.
Meanwhile Remo shot a frenzied promotional song with Salman for Bajrangi Bhaijaan. It was suggested that the shooting be postponed because of the rains, but Salman insisted that they complete the song on time.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali too couldn’t afford to postpone his schedule for Bajirao Mastani as his leading man Ranveer was back after a longish spell of post-surgery recuperation. Ranveer, Deepika and Priyanka shot for Bajirao Mastani every night last week despite the torrential rain.
