Why ‘Pralay’ shifted its shooting schedule to Mumbai

Directed by Jai Mehta, Pralay went on floors in Mumbai in August. The film marks Ranveer Singh’s first outing in the zombie thriller genre and is set in a post-apocalyptic version of Mumbai.

Conceived as a survival thriller, the project is reportedly using real locations in and around the city to establish the film’s dystopian setting.An earlier shooting schedule was reportedly planned in Australia. However, the production subsequently shifted its plans to Mumbai as Singh and Padukone prepared to welcome their second child. The change allowed filming to continue closer to home during that period, following which the actor took time away after the birth of his daughter.
