Anil Kapoor shoots for Zoya, while Anees waits

21 Jul 2014

Anil Kapoor has taken time off from the shooting of Anees Bazmee's Welcome Back to shoot for Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do in Istanbul. The Zoya schedule was supposed to happen later during the year but had to be pre-poned as the necessary permission for the shooting was obtained in advance.

The immediate sufferer because of Anil's revamped schedule is Anees Bazmee's multi-starrer Welcome Back. The shooting had to be abruptly stopped to accommodate the Zoya factor in the actor's schedule (Anil Kapoor).

Rather than cool his heels and sulk over the unscheduled delay, Anees is busy editing the footage he has shot.

Says Anees pragmatically, "I see Anil's other commitment as a blessing in disguise. I got a chance to take a break from the shooting and edit what I've already shot. After trimming pruning and polishing the footage I like what I see. As far as the break in the shooting goes, aisa hota hai. It happens to all of us especially when so many busy stars are shooting together. I've completed 70 percent of my film. As soon as Anil returns we'll go back to Dubai later this month and finish the shooting."
