Batti Gul Meter Chalu: Yami Gautam heads to the court

Batti Gul Meter Chalu is in its final stages, with just a few scenes left for shooting. The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam in lead roles. It is directed by Shree Narayan Singh.Last week, Yami Gautam began shooting for the final schedule of Batti Gul Meter Chalu. The earlier schedules of the film were shot in Dehradun and Tehri earlier, this year. Now, the final schedule is being shot in Mumbai, where the makers have erected a grand courtroom in Film City.

 Yami plays the role of a lawyer, and hence, will be shooting some intense scenes in the courtroom set-up for the next two weeks.A source close to the development informed Mumbai Mirror, "As a lawyer, Shahid will be seen defending a small-town thief in the film which has been penned by writer-duo Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal. The social-drama revolves around the rampant practice of electricity theft in smalltown India and the problems of outrageous bills, in this case, set in a North Indian locality, and Yami plays the public prosecutor."

 It was earlier reported that the actress has attended two sessions at the Bombay High Court to understand the workings within a courtroom. A lawyer-friend of the actress even arranged for her to attend a special vacation bench hearing too.The entire cast is preparing really hard for the film. A few days ago, Shahid backed out of an award show due to health issues but did not stall the film, rather he continued shooting for it in Uttarakhand in the low temperatures.Batti Gul Meter Chalu is all set to hit the screens on August 31, 2018.
