Ranveer Singh’s ‘Pralay’ Australia Schedule Gets Canceled; Stunt Choreographers Fly Down To Mumbai (EXCLUSIVE)
Ranveer Singh’s “Pralay” was supposed to begin production with an action-packed first schedule in Australia. However, Variety India has exclusively learned that the schedule has been canceled after the makers didn’t get the required shooting permits.
The team had planned to film large-scale action sequences in a remote and deserted part of the country but was unable to obtain the necessary permissions due to strict filming rules and regulations. The action directors and stunt choreographers have now flown to Mumbai, where the team is planning to shoot the sequences in a studio.
