A source from the creative team said, "The film was to roll after February 15 in Mumbai. Whether the shoot dates move will now depend on Shetty and clearance from the police."

However, there has been no official confirmation of the postponement.

Other projects to be delayed?

After the firing incident, Shetty’s other project featuring John Abraham and Tamannaah Bhatia also remains uncertain. It is a biopic on former Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria.

The film reportedly went on floors in April 2025 and still has around two weeks of filming left.

"Until mid-January, the film was being shot in South Mumbai. Rohit was in Ooty for a recce until January 30. But now, the remaining shoot will be reconsidered," a source told Mid-Day.
