In an exclusive update to Pinkvilla, a source revealed that crew members fell sick due to a widespread chicken contamination issue in Leh. They emphasized that the matter was unrelated to any food or facilities provided by the film’s production.
The source said, “This is one of the biggest films in production right now. Why would there be any need for cost-cutting at all? Leh is an incredibly difficult terrain to shoot. This is a unit of over 300 people. There was a local contamination issue that led to this. It is horrible that such ridiculous rumours are floating.”
The insiders further added, “Health, hygiene, and crew safety have consistently been treated as top priorities. Additional precautions and stricter supplier checks are now in place, even as the unit has resumed work.”
The film is currently in the final leg of its shoot, with only a few weeks of filming left in Leh. Once wrapped, the production team is expected to return to Mumbai by mid-September.
