It had been informed earlier that certain protestors from
the Bajrang Dal interrupted the shooting of the Hollywood movie Victoria And
Abdul starring Dame Judi Dench and Ali Fazal in protest of the installation of
Queen Victoria on the sets.
In order to avoid any such unpleasant incidents in the
future, the makers have now decided to reconstruct Agra in London and shoot
their portions in the United Kingdom. A source attached to the film told, “The
team was planning to shoot in India and was even prepping for it. However owing
to the earlier circumstances and situation, they finally decided to not shoot
here. Instead, since the shoot left was that of market areas and houses, they
planned to stick to recreating the sets in the outskirts of London which was
more feasible for them. This would be the final schedule of the film before its
release in September.”
Directed by Stephen Frears, Victoria And Abdul is based on
the book along the same title written by Shrabani Basu, which revolves around
Queen Victoria and her confidante Abdul Karim, played by Judi and Ali
respectively.
