The relentless rains of May 26 brought parts of Mumbai to a standstill. Naturally, the ongoing shoots in the city weren’t unscathed. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who has been shooting Love & War in Film City, Goregaon, over the past few months, was set to can an important sequence with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal on Monday afternoon. However, the downpour compelled him to call off the day’s work.

A source close to the production revealed, “It was a key dramatic sequence that was set outdoors and required specific lighting. But with waterlogging and unpredictable weather, it became impossible to go ahead. Bhansali sir didn’t want to compromise on the scene’s visual quality or the safety of his crew. It’s a unit of 500-plus and some people stay in far-off areas. It was impossible for them to reach the set because of train disruptions.”
