Context
Why does this story matter?
The production of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali was supposed to begin in April but seems to have been delayed by a month. Previously, Sajid Nadiadwala was going to produce the film, but he reportedly backed out owing to disagreements over the budget and script of the venture. Moreover, former Bigg Boss contestant Shehnaaz Gill will be making her debut in Bollywood with this.
Report
Two sets were constructed solely for film
According to media reports, the shooting commenced at the Golden Tobacco factory in Vile Parle, Mumbai. The set design team had constructed two massive sets here. Apparently, one of them resembled a metro station. Samji's team had to erect this to avoid crowd management problems in a real location. After this schedule, the team will next shoot at Mehboob Studio in Bandra.
