Ooty gets the bootie!

hota hai: Ranbir Kapoor

The incessant downpour in Ooty has wreaked havoc on the shooting schedule of Rajkumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. The film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif was to have over a month's schedule in the hill station. A special set had also been erected. But they had barely begun and the inclement weather forced them to alter their plans. As a result, the stars are back in Mumbai. And director now has to shoot in Mumbai.

Maybe later

Says Santoshi, "Yes, we are back and I will be shooting at various locales in the city instead. We managed to shoot for about 10 days in Ooty but couldn't due to the weather. We had planned this schedule on the sets, as well as in the outdoors but the rains made it difficult. I do plan to return to Ooty sometime in August to can those scenes."

As he still has the dates of Ranbir and Katrina, Santoshi is now location-scouring in Mumbai. "I will be shooting with Ranbir and Katrina in Mumbai now. We will then leave for an overseas stint."

APKGK also has Upen Patel in the cast. "At the moment though, I am only shooting with Ranbir and Katrina," says Santoshi, who moves away from his characteristic socio-political subjects by making a humourous romantic film.

'The sequel has to be a worthy successor'
Aamir and Salman Khan want a sequel to be made to their 1994 caper, Rajkumar Santoshi's Andaz Apna Apna, as announced on 10 Ka Dum.
Santoshi says, "It's a good idea but the sequel has to be a worthy successor. I don't want to make it just for the heck of it. AAA was made over 14 years ago. So we will have to take the idea much further. At the moment, it is a mere thought, we will have to sit and discuss it. But yes, I would love to make it.
