It's not just office-goers, students and labourers who are bearing the brunt of incessant rains in Mumbai. Schedules of film shoots are going haywire as well. And when an expensive set is at stake, the best that the unit can do is walk away, or rather shift location!

When the rains played spoilsport recently, Sunday's director Rohit Shetty had no choice but to do just that. He shifted the entire set of a song, plus 600 people who featured in it, all the way to Hyderabad.

Reportedly, the song cost a bomb as the set alone is worth Rs 80 lakh. Add to that, the cost of shifting it along with the extras.

Speaking from Hyderabad, Rohit says: "Yes, it was pretty awful. Thankfully, we were saved in the nick of time. Bringing 600 people from Mumbai to Hyderabad turned out to be very expensive. But we were left with no choice. Ajay Devgan was to shoot for that song, but now he will be joining us here only on Wednesday."

He adds: "I guess we are lucky that we took the decision of shifting location, or else the rains would have played havoc. We would have suffered much greater financial loss had the set been damaged. Now Arshad Warsi and Ayesha Takia are already here and we are shooting some important sequences with them."

Well, kudos for the quick thinking!
