Delhi is too expensive to shoot? Aamir Khan's Sitare Zameen Par, Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 move sets out of Delhi?
Well, if one wants to shoot at Rajiv Chowk metro station in Delhi they have to have Rs 2 lakhs per hour. If anyone wants to shoot at the international airport, they need to have Rs 12 lakhs for four hours. A source close to the portal also said that shoots originally planned for longer duration in the Capital, have been revised. Aamir Khan's Sitare Zameen Par's Delhi schedule has been cut.
The film was supposed to be shot for one month but now it will be shot in Delhi only for 8-10 days in July. Janhvi Kapoor starrer Ulajh was supposed to be shot for 12-13 days in Delhi. But they already went over budget in London, and hence, the money remaining was less. So, they shifted the shoot to Bhopal.
Ravi Sarin, a veteran line producer told HT that he recently shot a big web series at Worldmark in Aerocity. He said that it was a six to six schedule from evening to morning and Rs 44 lakh rupees were spent. He also said that earlier the outdoor crew members were less but now there are more than 150 members.
He also said that he used to handle shoots for 20-22 films in a single year and it has been cut down to 80 percent now. The portal also stated that producers have started telling their writers not to write a story based in Delhi. The makers of Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 have reportedly opted to recreate Delhi in Lucknow.
