Seems after a considerable gap, the pending song for Emraan Hashmi starrer 24x7 Raftaar, will finally be shot. But it remains to be seen if the actor will feature in it. Reportedly, the producers, Percept Picture Company has roped in the three finalists of IPL Miss Bollywood 2009, while Hashmi was keener on doing it with a known actress.
According to a source associated with the movie, “Initially, the song was to be shot at Maldives and Emraan’s dates were booked. But it was shifted to Bangkok due to financial issues. Then there was a disagreement over the girl. Percept wanted to take some new girl to save costs, while Emraan felt a known face would get better mileage.”
Disagreements?
Consequently, differences cropped up between Hashmi and Percept after they failed to sign a girl and utilise his dates for the song sequence. And if that wasn’t enough, they apparently even delayed his payment, resulting in his refusal to dole out more dates than committed.
Navin Shah, CEO, Percept Picture Company, too, brushed aside differences with Hashmi saying, “There weren’t any such problems really. 24 x 7 Raftaar is a glam film like Dhoom 2 and Race. Signing known faces for the songs would be too Bollywood and it’s already been done to death. By roping in IPL Miss Bollywood, we’re keeping the glam quotient intact.”
However, Shah is certain that Hashmi will allot the dates in the third week of August to wrap up the remaining three songs in a start-to-finish spell, despite his look for Once Upon A Time. “Agreed that Emraan is busy with his other films and is currently sporting a different look. It’s a creativity issue and we have to find a way around it.” Now, that will be confirmed by the end of August.
