Actress Rani Mukerji's comeback venture `Mardaani` seems to have hit a snag. Director Pradeep Sarkar was supposed to shoot at the Mumbai airport earlier this week, but permission is said to have been denied.

`Rani and her co-star Jisshu Sengupta were supposed to shoot a romantic scene on the Juhu beach early in the morning on Thursday. In the evening they were supposed to do a very emotional sequence at the airport. However, the airport sequence had to be cancelled because the necessary permission was not forthcoming,` said a source from Yash Raj Films.

The sequence has now been pushed to March-end.

"Pradeep has cancelled both the shooting on the beach and the airport sequence on Thursday. He will shoot them both when the airport authorities allow shooting on the airport. In the meanwhile, a long schedule for 'Mardaani' is planned in Delhi at the beginning of March," the source added.
