After innumerable problems and hindrances faced by the unit of directer Rahul Dholakia's (PARZANIA and MUMBAI CUTTING) next film, LAMHAA, in Jammu and Kashmir, the film's shooting venue has been shifted to the picturesque locales of Kullu–Manali.

The lead actor Sanjay Dutt has already reached Manali and is quite relaxed. Talking to the local media, the still deadly Dutt recalled his days at the state capital Shimla's famous Lawrence School at Sanawar. He said that the beautiful valleys of the hill state have lost none of their charm and are still quite enchanting.

As may be recalled, the shooting of Bunty Walia's LAMHAA, which takes an objective look at the terrorism and its destructive after effects in J & K, was opposed by the hardliners. Infact, Sanjay Dutt, who had landed in the state, had to leave immediately without even a single shot (featuring him) having been canned.
