Then we were to start a new film with Sony Picture called ‘Darr In the Mall’ later this month. And from March 1 Sonu was to begin shooting for Prabhu Deva’s ‘Rambo Rajkumar’. All three schedules stand cancelled. What to do? These things happen. At the moment we are concerned only with Sonu’s condition. We’ll work out the shooting setbacks later.”
