A new project marked the start of the new year for Tiger Shroff, Janhvi Kapoor, and Lakshya as they kicked off Lag Jaa Gale in January. At the time, director Raj Mehta aimed to wrap up the actioner by April. But now there’s a change in the plan. mid-day has learnt that the Karan Johar-backed revenge action drama’s shoot has been extended to October. 

What’s caused the delay? From what we’ve heard, it’s got to do with Lakshya’s look. A source elaborated, “While filming Lag Jaa Gale, Lakshya had to shoot for a few scenes of Chand Mera Dil. His looks in both films are different. He had to not only cut his hair, but also trade the rugged avatar of Lag Jaa Gale for the soft look that he has in Chand Mera Dil. Now, he will have to grow his hair and then resume the actioner’s shoot.”

Another insider shared that going forward, it won’t be a relentless production and the actors will get breaks in between. “The unit worked tirelessly for the last three-four months. The coming schedule will be less hectic. Raj is hoping to wrap up the film by October.”
