The filmmaker said the shooting of his much-talked about film Bazaar will, however, take some time as he and his team are busy re-writing the script. The movie is based on stock market and will reportedly star Akshay Kumar. “Baazar is into re-write. We need to do it because things have happened in the stock market which made me realise that we need to turn around. We need to revisit the characters, the story. That’s what we are doing right now,” the director added.
