Shahid Kapoor To Film Final Patch Shoot

As per reports, Vishal Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapoor will return to the sets on December 28, 2025 for a brief two-day patch shoot at Vrundavan Studios in Malad. This schedule is said to be the closing leg of an otherwise tightly guarded production. A source close to the unit revealed, “It’s a patch shoot, with some action and dialogue-heavy scenes lined up.” During this phase, the focus will remain firmly on Shahid, who will complete crucial portions of the film.

Interestingly, Triptii Dimri and Randeep Hooda will not be part of this leg, as their scenes are not required for the patchwork. Industry insiders point out that such shoots, though short, are essential to fine-tune pacing, continuity, and impact. Following a brief New Year break, the production is expected to resume with another eight-day schedule in January 2026, largely focusing on crowd scenes and sequences that can be managed with body doubles. “If required, the actors may be requested to report for a day or so,” the insider added, suggesting flexible planning. Shahid Kapoor’s Son Zain Turns 7: Mira Rajput Pens Heartfelt Birthday Note for Her ‘Cool Beans’ (View Pic)
