Audiences are eagerly anticipating the release of upcoming films like 바카라Sitaare Zameen Par바카라 and 바카라Raid 2,바카라 but often overlook the arduous process of their creation. Behind the scenes, the filmmaking journey is demanding, especially when it comes to shooting locations. While Delhi has, for a long time, been a popular backdrop for many projects, filmmakers today opt to recreate the capital바카라s ambiance in cities like Lucknow or Bhopal.

 This shift is primarily due to the significant costs associated with shooting in Delhi, as reported by Hindustan Times.

Originally planned for an extended duration, shoots are now undergoing revisions. Aamir Khan바카라s Delhi schedule for 바카라Sitaare Zameen Par바카라 has been notably shortened. 바카라Instead of a month, now it will be shot in Delhi only for 8-10 days, around July,바카라 a source informed the media outlet.

A source also cited Janhvi Kapoor바카라s upcoming film 바카라Ulajh,바카라 which recently concluded its shooting schedule. Initially planned for a 12-13 day shoot in Delhi, the film바카라s budget exceeded expectations during filming in London. Consequently, the makers opted to complete the remaining portion of the shoot in Bhopal. Similarly, Aanand L Rai바카라s upcoming 바카라Nakhreywali바카라 saw the team shoot in Lucknow for about 40 days, and they recreated Delhi there.

The producers of Ajay Devgn바카라s 바카라Raid 2바카라 have reportedly decided to recreate the essence of Delhi in Lucknow instead of shooting in the capital itself. A production person informed the portal, 바카라They shot in the city for four days, including India Gate, and then 47 days in Lucknow. Atleast 20-25 films in today바카라s time are being shot in Lucknow because of the subsidies and quick permissions.바카라

Discussing the challenges of filming in Delhi, a production head highlighted that the city has become prohibitively expensive for film shoots. 바카라If you want to shoot at Rajiv Chowk for 4 hours, it means eight lakh rupees for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. GST ki baat agar nahi bhi karte, ₹2,36,000 will be taken by New Delhi Municipal Council, a lakh rupees will be taken by the parking guys. Around two lakh rupees by the Delhi Police for security. You can do the maths,바카라 as per the report.

In such cases, cities like Bhopal and Lucknow have emerged as viable alternatives for filmmakers due to their cost-effective shooting locations and subsidies offered by local authorities.
