‘Welcome Back’ shoot postponed due to ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’

The first schedule of Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ aboard a cruise liner, had been brought forward by a month. She has asked her stars to board the cruise liner by May 17. This schedule has thrown Anees Bazmee’s ‘Welcome Back’ out of gear. His 40 day schedule that was to start in Mumbai from May 6, has been reduced to a mere five day one.

As per sources, Zoya’s father Javed Akhtar called up Anil and convinced him to give his ‘Welcome Back’ dates to ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. Anil had to comply, as Zoya’s problem is genuine. “If she doesn’t utilise the May dates allotted by the cruise company, she will have to wait for months to put her film on floors.”

Bazmee said, “Anil did call to check on my schedule. He has given me two days, May 11 and 12. After that I will shoot for a couple of days with Shruti Haasan and John Abraham. Anil will finish his portions by mid-June and start shooting immediately for Welcome Back.”
