/> Personal setbacks and crises often mean losses worth crores for film producers specially if the film is shot abroad.

But in the case of Anees Bazmi's Thank You where a long schedule in Toronto had to end suddenly because of Bobby Deol's father-in-law illness and death, the loss runs into not just the production on-hand (Thank You) but also Boney Kapoor's sequel to No Entry entitled Be Positive.

While Boney has declared his next production would be the sequel to No Entry Anees shocks by declaring that the script is not even close to being ready.

Says Anees, "While I've an idea for the Hera Pheri sequel which I am working on for producer Feroz Nadiadwala I've absolutely no idea which way the sequel to No Entry would go. The comedy is the hardest genre to write. And I can't plunge into a funny film until I've the script ready. I've just had no time to think about an idea for No Entry Part 2."

With the Thank You schedule going haywire after Bobby's abrupt departure from Toronto Anees is now organizing a schedule in Mumbai to synchronize with the unfinished schedule in Toronto.

Says Anees, "When Bobby had to leave from Toronto we still had one big song to be shot. And some scenes. We're doing the scenes from 13 September. The song will come later."

It was meant to be a big chorus song featuring Irrfan Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Rimmi Sen, Sunil Shetty and Bobby. Organizing the dates of all these actors would be problematic.

Plus there's the problem of getting the choreographer.One of South Indian cinema's biggest names was hired to do the song.

Says Anees, "Raju Sundaram was supposed to do the song. Now I don't know if he still can. He's busy. I also have to wrap up my schedule before I leave for Bangkok to shoot the second schedule of Ready with Salman Khan."

Sighs Anees, "This is the first time I'm doing two films together. Setbacks are bound to happen.Chalta Hai.We've to take it in our stride."

One hopes Boney Kapoor too will Be Positive about Bobby Deol's disrupted schedule.
