Anurag Basu’s ‘Jagga Jasoos’ that stars Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, is one of the most delayed projects of recent times. The shooting of the film started two years back and it is yet to be completed. Ranbir and Katrina’s commitment to other films made it such a lengthy project. The news about it being shelved did the rounds many times. But now it seems everything is back on track. 50% of the shooting is completed and the rest will be shot in the next five months. The next short schedule of this musical romance will roll from December 20, 2015 in Mumbai and then the entire team will head to Morocco for a long schedule where most of the scenes and three romantic tracks as well, will be filmed. Ranbir will join the sets in the first week of January 2016 while Katrina will join them by end of January. In February, Katrina will get into her next film ‘Fitoor’s promotion and then will join back the sets by February end. The makers are planning to wrap ‘Jagga Jasoos’ by March 5, 2015 so they can get enough time for editing before it releases in June 2016.
