However, director Ahmed Khan has revealed that the reason behind the delay is the Pahalgam attack. While talking to Bollywood Hungama, the choreographer-turned-director revealed that this month they were supposed to shoot in Kashmir, but due to the Pahalgam tragedy, the schedule was cancelled.

Ahmed said, “We’ve already shot two lengthy schedules. We were supposed to shoot in Kashmir in June for a third, long schedule. That would have brought us close to completing the film. But then the Pahalgam tragedy happened. The Kashmir schedule had to be cancelled."

He further revealed that now they might shoot in Kullu or Himachal Pradesh. "But going back to Kashmir is not feasible. We have to plan the schedule from scratch in another location. Coordinating the dates of thirty-six actors again is no small task. We’re working on it,” Khan added.
