Ad filmmaker Sanjay Shetty was to helm Lakadbaggha 2 — The Monkey Business, an actioner led by Anshuman Jha. But it looks like the film, which revolves around an animal-lover vigilante, has had a change in leadership. Three days after Shetty kicked off the shoot in Mumbai last month, Jha stepped in to direct the film.
A source close to the production said, “Sanjay and Anshuman weren’t seeing the same film; there was a mismatch of vision. As someone who has been part of the franchise since its inception, Anshuman understands the world. So, he felt like the right person to take charge of the project.”
Shetty has remained on the film as a creative consultant.
The transition in the leadership has been smooth, reveals assistant director Aura Chandel, saying, “Anshuman has been involved from day one — from casting international martial artists like Sunny Pang and Dan Chupong, to shaping the narrative. Sanjay sir has been Anshuman’s mentor. There’s no bad blood. The initial bits have been reshot.”
Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani recreate Prabhu Dheva's song Urvashi

Shahid Kapoor, who is scheduled to kick off work on his next, the Hindi remake of the Telugu hit Arjun Reddy, this month in Mumbai, is going back to the basics. Mirror has learnt that the actor, who rose to fame as the lovelorn teen in the Aryans hit song Ankhon Mein Tera Hi Chehra in 1999, is set to feature in another music video.
“We’ve changed the lyrics, but the hook line remains the same. The song however doesn’t showcase a love story but a new-age relationship between Shahid and Kiara. Even the choreography is contemporary. We are shooting on a club set in Film City. We also filmed at a parking lot on Sunday to give the video an underground kind of a feel,” informs choreographer Sanjay Shetty, adding that Shahid is super excited and looks like a rockstar. “Kiara is a fab dancer.”
The actress admits she was kicked when the single came to her but excitement soon turned into nervousness. “I know the pressure one goes through when a classic song is recreated. There will be comparisons. This could be my ode to Prabhu sir, I am a huge fan,” says the actress, adding that she has grown up listening to the original “Urvashi”. She is all praise for her co-star. “We all know Shahid is a great dancer, I was nervous about matching up to his skills, but he was super fun to work with. We were in sync from the word go,” Kiara says.
