DARJEELING, 21 JUNE: Film director Anurag Basu today left the Darjeeling Hills after ending the first phase of shoot for his upcoming film Barfee, starring Ranbir Kapoor. Basu, however, was apologetic for winding up the shoot before schedule following an altercation between the crowd and the crew members during shoot at Chowrasta on 16 June.
Basu admitted that he took the decision to leave the Hills early “in rage” after feeling humiliated over the 16 June incident. “I am not going back disheartened. The incident should not have taken place. The shooting was smooth in the past two days which made me think that the decision I took was in rage,” said Basu.
Basu, who was earlier reluctant to return to the Hills for the rest of the shoot, said he would come back in September. The crew will come to the Darjeeling Hills in September. Another actor, Priyanaka Chopra, will also join the team then. “I will come back in September and Priyanaka Chopra will also be coming,” he said before leaving Darjeeling.
Ranbir Kappor and Illena D'Cruze, two Bollywood stars, had only come to Darjeeling this time around. However, Priyanka Chopra was also supposed to arrive in the Hills but she did not come.
According to Basu, they would come to Darjeeling in a well-organised manner and shooting would also take place in Kalimpong. “I did not expect Ranbir to be so popular here. I will come in September and shoot even in Kalimpong. Shooting details, however, will not be revealed so that shooting does not get hampered,” said Basu.
The shoot in Mirik was cancelled this time as he thought that a large number of people would be present there. The director wanted the locals to know that they had a great time.
“I had a great time despite the incident. The bitterness has mellowed down a bit and all the crew members have enjoyed their stay in Darjeeling,” said Basu.
The Barfee team shot at The Buzz at Glenary's, Tindharia, Mall Road, Capital Clock Tower and other areas of Darjeeling. Ranbir Kapoor along with Basu was spotted in the Buzz enjoying the performance of a local musical band. Sixty per cent of the movie will be shot in Darjeeling and the rest in Kolkata.
“The film is scheduled to be released early next year,” said Basu. The team will shoot the remaining portion of the film in Kolkata.
