The high-stakes Uttar Pradesh assembly elections have put a brake on the filming of Bollywood movies in the state. Polls will be held in seven phases from February 11 to March 8, and the counting of votes will take place on March 11. Due to the political heat, filmmakers are playing safe and have rescheduled their shoot dates to after mid-March.
