The Glasgow schedule of ‘Kick’ had an untimely demise thanks to Salman Khan’s visa troubles. Now the film will finally resume shooting in Mumbai from mid-October. A source close to the development told TOI, “There is no certainty about the London schedule now. And it is not clear if the portions will be shot in another foreign location. Those decisions are yet to be taken. Right now, we start with the Mumbai schedule which was anyway going to kick off in October.” Nadiadwala had flown to Glasgow in the last week of July with the cast and crew to shoot the first schedule of the film but Salman was stuck in Mumbai thanks to visa troubles and a looming court date in the hit-and-run case. Nadiadwala waited in Glasgow for nearly three weeks and then flew back to Mumbai for Eid celebrations, but he never went back. And with the rupee continuing its downward fall, a long schedule at a foreign location is sure to pinch the producer hard. Added the source, “Whatever scenes were shot in Glasgow should be retained. We didn’t shoot too much there. Hiccups and delays are a part of movie making.We have taken it in our stride.”
