The pandemic disrupted filmmaker Shakun Batra's plans of heading to Sri Lanka in March for the shoot of his next featuring Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday. With travel restrictions being eased in phases over the past few weeks, the director was toying with the idea of flying to the island country in November. However, now, Batra has apparently drawn up a plan that will enable him to take his yet-untitled domestic noir thriller on floors as soon as next month.
