Movies can get stuck during the production stage sometimes and, as a result, it takes way too long to finally be released.
5 Bollywood Movies That Took Years To Complete:
1. Brahmastra
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Brahmastra went on floors in 2018. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan in the lead, the fantasy-drama took 5 years to complete the shoot. The team recently wrapped up the filming.
2. Bahubali
The 1st part of SS Rajamouli‘s Bahubali franschise had gone on floors on July 6, 2013, and was released on July 10, 2015. On the other hand, Bahubali 2: The Conclusion was released in theatres on March 7, 2017. For the unversed, Prabahs had dedicated 5 years to the franchise and didn’t take up any other projects during that period.
3. Bajirao Mastani
Starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra in the lead, it had reportedly taken 12 years for Sanjay Leela Bhansali to make Bajirao Mastani. While taking about it to a daily, “SLB once stated It has taken me 12 years to make Bajirao Mastani, as it was in my destiny, and it had to take that much time. Maybe, my hair had to turn grey, and I had to become wiser. Every film has its own destiny, and so, this had to be born in 2015.”
4. Jagga Jasoos
The Anurag Basu directorial, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in the lead, was apparently in the making for 5 years. Jagga Jasoos, which went on floors in 2013, was finally released in 2017. During those 5 years, the movie was reshot a couple of times and Ranbir-Katrina had also broken up.
5. Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam
Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit & Salman Khan-starrer Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam apparently took 6 years to release as it was stuck in production hassles.
