In a conversation with Mid-Day, while defusing the rumours, Shashank Khaitan said it wouldn’t be feasible to shoot the big-budget action film amid the pandemic. He said, “Shahid and I are still working out [the details], and hoping we can collaborate soon. The truth is that the film has to be shot in multiple countries. [Considering] the times we are living in, I don’t even know if we can travel to Borivali for a shoot. So, we weren’t sure if we could pull it off during the pandemic.”

Continuing further, Shashank Khaitan said that the Shahid Kapoor starrer Yoddha would be shot once things are back to normal. The Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania actor said, “If I have to shoot a film in four countries, it will require a lot of logistical support. Once normalcy is restored around the world, I will revive the Yoddha plan.”
Shahid Kapoor was supposed to begin shooting the Shashank Khaitan action film after wrapping up the schedules of the Hindi remake of Jersey. With the change in plans, Kapoor has now allotted those dates to his digital debut project. This web series will be helmed by The Family Man fame Raj and DK.
