Welcome to the Jungle Dubai shoot cancelled
Welcome to the Jungle's Dubai shoot has been dropped. Mid-Day quoted a source saying that elaborate sets will be erected in Madh Island, Golden Tobacco Studio, and Film City in Goregaon.
"Created by production designer Sailesh Mhadik, the sets will depict nightclubs, casinos, and private jets. Ahmed and producer Firoz A Nadiadwalla essentially imagined it as a glamorous song that shows how the rich live the good life. That’s why Dubai would have been the perfect location. The unit waited for a month for things to settle down there, but when they didn’t, they shifted the location," the source added.
The director said, "We will now shoot the song in Mumbai. It’s a glamorous song with the entire cast." He will shoot the song on April 15.
