Shahid Kapoor who was shooting for ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’ since last month has cut short the Dehradun schedule due to a viral infection. Mira and daughter Misha, who had joined him at the shoot of the ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’ recently, returned to Mumbai last evening with the actor.
During the shoot of a courtroom scene earlier this week that Kapoor, who had a sore throat then, complained of uneasiness. “Shahid Kapoor was feeling unwell, but continued with the shoot nonetheless. His sore throat got aggravated as he had to deliver a dialogue in a high pitch. By Tuesday, he was down with high fever. It was then that the doctor recommended that he take rest. He was also advised to not strain his vocal cords. So, the shoot was cancelled for the day,” says an insider. Worried about the schedule amiss owing to his health, Shahid insisted on resuming the shoot after a day’s rest. However, when his health deteriorated on Wednesday, the producers compelled him to fly back to Mumbai and take adequate rest. Shahid had barely three days of work left in this schedule. The next schedule of ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’, which revolves around the issue of electricity theft, is slated for the first week of April.
