Rains put a stop to 'Force' shoot

Vipul Shah had to pack up his shoot in Kutch, where he was filming Force. Unseasonal rains played havoc with his schedule

Vipul Shah returned in a state of shock from Kutch. His plans to shoot Force were dashed when unseasonal rains played spoilt sport.

He was left with no option but to leave the location without shooting even a single frame.

A stricken Vipul Shah says, "We had to start shooting on the borders of Kutch from February 17. But it rained heavily on the 16th and everything went haywire.

The unit had already reached and these are white deserts. These are salt lakes so already they are damp. The mud levels are very high.

Locals and the military have warned us that we can't shoot for another 20 days at least. There is also a constant fear of insects with so much muck around."

The film, which is a remake of South film Kaakha Kaakha, is directed by Nishikant Kamath. It will now have to be shot only on sets as there is no other choice. Shah says, "So in the last two-three days we have busy making sets so that we can shoot some portions here.

The balance we will shoot later which we haven't planned as yet. This is our plan B for now as we had never thought that unseasonal rains would send our schedule for a toss."

When asked about the losses incurred, Shah says, "That I will know only after the schedule is complete.

The unit had reached Kutch and now we are back making three to four different sets for scenes which were to be shot on one single location."
