Motwane desires to shoot in real snow for Lootera

Sonakshi Sinha's on-screen love story with Ranveer Singh in Lootera is now complete. Or almost complete. The affection story in accordance with an O'Henry short-story was shot entirely in artificial snow, because the real snows of Kashmir proved to be not friendly for shooting purposes at all.

But now, the film's team-- and that incorporates its reticent director Vikramaditya Motwane --has decided to shoot no less than a small component of the film in real snow. The initial plans of releasing the film by year-end have therefore been dropped, in order that one last attempt will also be made to catch a section of the film in real snow in Kashmir in December or January.

Says a source as regards to the project, "IT TRULY IS an issue of a fair omen. You can not make a movie about love within the snow without real snow. All the team thinks it might be inappropriate to make a movie a few love story in a snow-scape without real snow. So although the shooting is now complete and nobody can tell the film have been shot in artificial snow, way to the delicate snow-producing machine that was imported to do the needful, the film's shooting would still be stalled until no less than 10 minutes of the footage is shot in real snow."

Apparently, Sonakshi and Ranveer have given their nod to the idea, although Ranveer hurt his back very badly while seeking to shoot within the snow the last time.

Interestingly, Sanjay Leela Bhansali who shot his snow-fall scenes in Black in artificial snow after it was impossible to shoot in real snow in Simla, has advised his erstwhile assistant Vikramaditya Motwane to circumvent real snow. But Motwane isn't listening.
