We've heard that Himesh Reshammiya is pushing himself too hard, wanting to achieve too much too soon. As a result, he has become a victim of overwork and fatigue.
T-Series felt the brunt of this recently when they incurred a loss of almost Rs 70 lakh.
The incident in question happened in Udaipur when Pooja Bhatt took the cast and crew of Kajra Re (which she is directing for T-Series) for the shoot too Devigarh Palace (near Udaipur) on August 18. Says a source from the unit, “The shooting was scheduled for nine days but everybody had to return after shooting for just three days. Pooja could not continue the shoot since Himesh fell sick out of sheer fatigue.”
Our source adds, “Himesh did not come to Udaipur on the first day. After he came, he shot for just two days. After that, he could not continue shooting. He had also developed high temperature. He tried telling Pooja that everything would be fine. Pooja waited with the entire cast and crew for two more days while Himesh rested.”
What happened then? Himesh was still not fit after two days. Pooja could not wait any longer. Most of the scenes, which she wanted to shoot in Devigarh Palace, had Himesh in them. So, she called off the shoot.
Now, the Udaipur schedule will have to be readjusted. Pooja says, “We all will have to go back there again and complete the shoot.”
A friend of Pooja says, “Himesh has taken too much work. He should take it easy.”
Pooja adds, “Himesh tried his best but could not cope. He definitely needs to slow down. I could not shoot with him, or else the output would not have been at an optimum level and it would have reflected on the screen. Even my dad (Mahesh Bhatt) wanted us to call it off, he said it would be suicidal if we went ahead.”
When contacted, Ranjit Shah, Executive Producer on Kajra Re, confirmed that Himesh’s inability to shoot in Udaipur had cost T-Series big money. Ranjit said, “We lost Rs 60-70 lakhs. We had paid for the site, lights and a lot of other things. The shooting schedule in Udaipur was a major disaster…”
When contacted, Himesh said, “The climate of Udaipur didn’t suit me and I got viral fever. As I reached Mumbai, the temperature became normal and here I am shooting for Mudh Mudh... But I’m happy that nowadays due to insurance cover, the producers don’t have to bear the loss, and it was just three days of shoot which had to be cancelled.”
