Ravi Kishan to leave shooting for UP elections

Actor Ravi Kishan's campaigning stint in UP had filmmakers crying foul as he left a shoot incomplete. 

Yeh to hona hi tha... The frenzy of the ongoing UP assembly elections has caught up with the B-towners in a big way and a number of them are making their presence felt in the state to lend support for the candidates who host them here. While that is good news for star-struck UPites, it leaves filmmakers in a lurch. 

The most recent example is of actor Ravi Kishan, who allegedly left the shooting of a song of 'Zilla Ghaziabad' midway, that was being held in Kamalistan studio in Mumbai, when he received a call to campaign in UP. 

The three-day schedule was for an item song, which also features Sanjay DuttArshad WarsiShriya Saran along with Ravi Kishan. Kishan, who shot for the first two days, left the shooting to campaign for a political party in UP, according to sources. 

Sources from the sets add, "Since the dance sequence had other actors with equally busy schedules, so Sanjay Dutt, who himself was to campaign in UP, had asked Ravi Kishan to finish his shooting commitments before going for the election campaigning. But Kishan reportedly opted for the latter." 

Kishan, who was seen in several cities in his role of a star campaigner, however denies that his departure for electioneering disturbed the film's schedule. 

In fact, according to him, his departure for UP was by mutual consent with Sanjay Dutt. He says, "I had completed my work. In fact, the shooting was getting overstretched. The dance sequence was complete and there is only one scene left with Sanjay Dutt, which by mutual agreement we will shoot once I return."

GDA, builders unite to decongest Raj Nagar Extension

GHAZIABAD: Builders in  Raj Nagar Extension  and the Ghaziabad Development Authority  (GDA) have joined hands to put an end to congestion woes in the area. The move would give a breather to the people commuting through the area and builders believe that this will entice more people into buying a property in the area. "To execute the proposed traffic decongestion plan for NH 58 and other roads in Ghaziabad,  GDA  has decided to complete these works in association with Raj Nagar Extension Developers Association," said Gaurav Gupta, spokesperson of the Association. Mr Gupta added, "The authorities propose to restructure of the NH-58 stretch - from Meerut-crossing (near new bus stand) to ALT-cut."  The builder and GDA team will undertake maintenance of the road and close down illegal cuts on the road (used for taking U-tunr) which have been the main reason behind the mess. The project is already underway and is expected to incur a cost of Rs 2 crore.  The...
