Rahul Dholakia has been having a tough time during the filming of his latest movie, Lamhaa, which is based on recent conditions prevailing in the Kashmir valley. The shooting of the film has already been disrupted a two or three times when the unit was shooting in the state.
In fact, the disruptions and the unruly mobs were what scared Bipasha Basu and made her flee back to Mumbai. In fact, the unit had to wrap up from Kashmir after the locals disturbed the shooting. The film has lost out on a lot of shooting time due to these disturbances. These days the unit is shooting in the city on a set which has been constructed in Film City. But what is finally working in the director's favour is the manner in which his lead actor Sanjay Dutt is shaping up. The actor is believed to be wrapping up his work so fast that Dholakia feels that they have managed to make up on lost time. It seems that the actor is completing long scenes in one go, with a maximum of a couple of takes. His enthusiasm, energy and dedication have endeared him to Dholakia, who feels that it is rare to find a dedicated actor like him, because of who the shooting is progressing very smoothly. . The director is also all praise for his leading lady Bipasha, who he feels is a thorough professional. Besides these two, the film also stars Kunal Kapoor.
