Since most recent releases haven’t found many takers at the ticket windows, filmmakers are revisiting their scripts to ensure the narratives resonate with cinegoers. At the same time, they are also reworking their budgets to minimise the risks in case the project doesn’t fare well. The latest to tread with caution is producer Dinesh Vijan, who has reportedly deferred his robot rom-com with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. Apparently, Sasha wasn’t too excited about the screenplay, and felt that the climax seemed to be more of an anti-climax. He conveyed his reservations to the producer and writer-director Amit Joshi, who understood his predicament and are said to be rewriting the screenplay. Since that would take a while, the trio has mutually decided to defer the production, from November 2022 to first quarter of 2023. Incidentally, Shahid’s remuneration is also a subject of debate. Sources claim Dinesh feels that the actor’s asking fee is too high, especially after the debacle of Jersey. So, they’re said to be negotiating on that too. Considering the nature of the story, the film will be high on VFX, which will consume a sizeable portion of the total budget. So, with Sasha’s high asking fee, the total cost is making the project commercially unviable. While these nagging issues are resolved, the actor is said to have allotted those dates to south director Rosshan Andrrews’s Bollywood debut. The yet-untitled film stars Sasha as an investigating officer who loses his memory in a road accident.
