Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor shoot for their romantic comedy in Delhi-NCR region: Report

Junaid Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, is poised to make his much-anticipated debut in the film industry this year. Fresh off the announcement of his historical drama Maharaj releasing on Netflix soon, Junaid has already plunged into his next project, a yet-untitled romantic comedy. This film, directed by Advait Chandan, renowned for Secret Superstar and Laal Singh Chaddha, will see Junaid venturing into the rom-com genre opposite Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the late legendary actress Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor.



According to a report in Hindustan Times, the initial phase of the shooting took place in Mumbai, with the Seven Eleven Club banquet hall in Mira Road serving as the primary location for the first few days. The team aimed to complete all outdoor filming by mid-June to avoid the monsoon season's disruptions. Now, the production has moved to the Delhi-NCR region for its second shoot schedule, which commenced three to four days ago. The team plans to remain in Delhi for another 10-12 days.

A source close to the production revealed, “The first leg of the shoot wrapped up in Mumbai, and now the duo is filming in the Capital. The supporting cast has been joining the shoot as and when needed, but Junaid and Khushi are going to be here for the entire schedule.” The source added that the film, still untitled, is slated for a theatrical release.

The Delhi schedule focuses primarily on the romantic sequences between Junaid and Khushi. “The lead actors have come to Delhi mainly to shoot the romantic portions. It will mostly be daytime shoots, and so far, there are no night shoots planned. Over the next few days, both indoor and outdoor shoots are planned,” the source elaborated. The shooting locations in Delhi are set to vary, moving between Noida, Greater Noida, and various parts of Delhi.

Another insider detailed the diverse shooting locations planned for the Delhi-NCR schedule, “The team has plans to shoot around Noida sector 30, Sunder Nursery, and Connaught Place. They are mostly moving shots from one place to another and are not staying put in one place. To capture the college vibe, some scenes will be shot in a university and hostel in Noida.”

The upcoming film is a Hindi adaptation of the 2022 Tamil hit Love Today, which was both directed by and starred Pradeep Ranganathan. The Hindi remake is being produced by Shristi Behl and Phantom Films. Notably, this project marks the return of Phantom Films to production after a significant hiatus.
