Arjun Reddy makers to prepone shoot schedule for Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor with wife Mira Rajput

With barely a few months left before the arrival of baby number 2, Shahid Kapoor has evidently turned his attention towards wife Mira Rajput. But, the actor still has one schedule of his upcoming actioner, Arjun Reddy in the pipeline before he can wrap up his work commitments.

In order to ensure that Kapoor can train his eyes on his wife and newborn when it arrives, makers of the Sandeep Vanga-directed venture have apparently decided to advance the Mumbai leg of the shoot, which was initially expected to clash with Rajput's delivery. A source tells mid-day, "The unit will kick-off the first schedule in Mumbai in August.

Mira is in the final trimester, and Shahid wants to spend as much time with her as is possible. It has been decided that a set will be erected at a film studio in Mumbai so that Shahid can make himself easily available for Mira. This was crucial, since, over the last few months, he had been away from the city for his other projects."

The 40-day schedule will be the first for the actioner, which also apparently features Tara Sutaria. It is a remake of the Telugu hit by the same name. "The second shooting leg will commence in the latter half of the year. The venue for the same is yet to be zeroed in on."
