Looks like Ekta Kapoor's current project Rock the Shaadi is giving is not exactly giving her a rocking time.The film starring Genelia D'Souza and Abhay Deol has been stalled as the budget of the film went for a toss. Director Navdeep Singh last shot for the film in November 2011 and managed to complete a little over 50 per cent of the film.
According to reports, Kapoor fixed the budget of the film at Rs 9 crore. If everything would have gone as planned, till now, about Rs 3.5 crore should have been spent on the film; but sources close to the project revealed that Rs 5 crore has already been spent.
"The director of the film has not been able to keep a check on the budget and Ekta is not pleased with the situation. The budget could have easily been maintained but obviously it did not happen," the source added.
Bollywood Paper has learnt, that a couple of days ago, Ekta called a meeting of all the officials on the board asking them to curtail their expenses and the total cost of the film shouldn't go beyond Rs 9 crore.Co-producer iRock agreed with Ekta's decision.
It is a well known fact that Ekta is a cost conscious producer and can take extreme steps if required. She wants to control both the quality as well as the monetary aspect of the film.The next schedule of the film has been planned for April. Let us hope that the film restarts.Ekta Kapoor remained unavailable for comment.
