Milap Zaveri has claimed that he is confident he can finish his new film Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai before its release date.
The director, who has enlisted the likes of Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra and Vidya Balan to star in the film just weeks before it is due to be released, insisted that finishing the movie will be easy.
"That's true. I'm roping in the names you've mentioned. Shooting at the last minute would be no problem because all of the star appearances are in the first reel, so I just have to re-edit the initial reel," Zaveri told Real Bollywood.
"Also, I've kept slates in the pre-final print announcing the various star cameos which I've filled up as and when they've been available."
Zaveri revealed that he had enjoyed making Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, which also stars Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Sajid Khan, Amrita Rao and Boman Irani.
"The stars making special appearances have been absolutely wonderful," he said. "Akshay Kumar insisted on seeing a part of the film before doing his cameo. Akshay speaks about Ruslaan Mumtaz's character in the camera.
"Sajid Khan left the shooting of his Housefull and drove down to our location. And do you know, Karan Johar actually agreed to be snubbed by Ruslaan Mumtaz! Ruslaan plays a superstar and in the film he refuses to take Karan's calls."
