Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra to shoot in Kolkata

The Kolkata leg of shooting for Anurag Basu’s Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra starrer “Barfee” has been postponed by a month.
The director, who’s currently location-hunting in Kolkata, revealed that he would be back end-August as against the last-announced end-July to shoot certain portions of the film in the city.
Anurag, who had announced an early pack-up in Darjeeling, apparently “in rage”, with an altercation breaking out between the crowd and the unit, is keeping the cards close to his heart.“Crowd is a huge problem wherever you go. It wouldn’t be wise to disclose the
shooting locales as I don’t want a repetition of the problems that we’ve faced,” he said. However, Anurag revealed that he’s keen on shooting on the Howrah Bridge. “That’s just one of the locations, I’ve so far zeroed in on. I like everything about Kolkata, but
I’m not letting the cat out of the bag,” he added. Apart from the lead actors who’ve made news right from coming on board, the city is also abuzz with rumours of quite a few Tollywood actors gearing up for cameos in the film. Roopa Ganguly, as was speculated about, is a part of the film. On being prodded, Anurag said, “I had wanted a few actors from Kolkata. But their dates are blocked because of megaserials or other television programmes that they are part of.
Nothing can be finalized because of this.” Also, heard that city singers will be considered in the music department, where Pritam Chakraborty is at the helm of affairs. “A whole host of Kolkata singers will be singing. But how far their songs can be used is something we’ll need to figure out,” Anurag said.
If all goes well, Kolkata is surely getting a large share of “Barfee”.
