Amy Jackson, Sohail and Arbaaz Khan have been in Noida since last week, shooting at different golf courses in the city. Amy had earlier tweeted about shooting in the heat when she had reached Delhi.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui shoots at Noida's golf courseLine producer RP Singh, who is handling the locations for the film, told us, 'A couple of crew members had to be hospitalized because of heatstroke.
Even though we had made arrangements, the weather was too hot. Everybody was served nimbu pani and chhaachh throughout the day. The actors were using portable ACs and we had tents for them. So they were able to manage. It has become quite hot this time. One of the other films that was supposed to begin in June has been pushed to September now. The makers decided to postpone their Delhi schedule because they thought that if April is this hot, June would be even hotter.'
The cast of the film was also supposed to shoot in the golf courses of Gurgaon, but apparently, they couldn't get permissions. After winding up their schedule in Noida today, the film's team will be flying to Pune for the remaining schedule.
