Mirror had reported earlier (April 19, 2016) about Prakash Raj’s Hindi directorial debut, Tadka, featuring Nana Patekar, Shriya Saran, Taapsee Pannu and Ali Fazal, going on the floors. Now, we hear the film is yet to be completed following Taapsee and Ali’s scheduling conflicts.

A source says, “One schedule was shot last May in Goa. Shooting was to resume in June but got delayed. Then, Ali left for the Victoria & Abdul shoot while Taapsee moved to Naam Shabana. Now, she has gone off to Mauritius for Judwaa 2 while Ali is busy promoting his international production. The remaining portions, one song and scenes related to their love story, cannot be shot individually. They need to shoot together for around 10 days for the film to wrap.”

Taapsee and Ali’s spokesperson said, “We are trying to work out her dates but they are blocked.”

Meanwhile Prakash Raj continues to be optimistic that he will be able to picturise a song with Taapsee and Ali after the rains end. We hope the actors don’t pour cold water on his plans. Taapsee, Ali’s film in a soup
