With the sudden demise of movie mogul Yash Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan has confirmed that the shooting for the incomplete song in his upcoming film ‘Jab Tak hai Jaan’ has been called off.
A portion of the song in Chopra’s last directorial venture was scheduled to be shot in the picturesque locales of Switzerland, also stated to be as the late mogul’s favourite location. But with the film crew not willing to interfere with the signature style of the late filmmaker, the unit has cancelled the shooting of the last song of the movie. The movie will now purely be Chopra’s and since the song has been recorded, it will now be played in the background using some scenes of what Chopra had already shot. Khan at an event said, “Just a minute and a half of the song was left. He (Chopra) wanted to do it in Switzerland. We don`t have the heart to shoot that part now. We will make it impure if we had to shoot it. The movie is ready for release. Yash ji had finished editing and the background mix was happening. The film was locked by Yash ji. The film which you will see has been entirely made by Yash Chopra.”
“It is little bit sad that we did not get to shoot it (the song). We had decided …zeroed in on what I would be wearing …as in which sari out of the 12 designed. I remember him (Yash Chopra) saying it will be like a party when we shoot the sequence of the song in Switzerland,” Katrina said at a press conference organised in connection with the film. There have been a lot of speculations around the completion of the shooting for the last song and reports had suggested that it could be either Chopra’s elder son Aditya or close family friend Karan Johar.
