Starring Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone in principal roles, acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj's next directorial venture, which is being touted as an intense gangster drama, has been put on hold for some time.
The whole team was set to begin the first shooting schedule of the much-awaited movie in Nepal next month, but the director had to delay it by a couple of months due to the bad health of his film's lead pair. Bhardwaj took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to confirm the same.
“Pushing back film by a few months, @irrfank down with jaundice and @deepikapadukone with resurfaced back issue caused during Padmaavat. While prepping, was transported to Maqbool days. Stunning look tests, can’t wait to start the shoot. Sending pyaar & duaaen to my Ustara and Afshan,” the director tweeted.
After reading Bhardwaj's tweet, what has caught many people's attention are two words 'Ustara' and 'Afshan'. Many people think that these are the names of the characters Irrfan and Deepika play in the movie. Well, we'll have to wait for an official announcement to ascertain that.
Meanwhile, Irrfan Khan is currently busy with the promotion of his forthcoming film, Blackmail. The trailer for the movie was released earlier today and, within hours of its launch, it received a rousing response from the audience. The film is scheduled to enter theatres on 6th April.
