This week Delhi's Chandni Chowk and the Red Fort will witness the arrival of two celebrity tourists, Aamir Khan and Kajol.

For, shooting begins later this week for Aamir and Kajol's under-production film, Kunal Kohli's 'Fanah' at the Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi Railway station and several historical monuments in the National capital. Those hoping to get a glimpse of the stars are, however, in for some disappointment. For, the shooting places will be out of bounds for the general public.

The portions of the film to be shot in Delhi have Aamir playing at guide taking a Kashmiri girl (Kajol) through a sightseeing tour of Delhi, including the historical monuments.

Consequently, shooting will be held at several historical monuments like the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Jantar Mantar, Purana Qila and Lodhi Gardens.

Trade sources say director Kunal Kohli (of 'Hum Tum' and 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge' fame) had requested permission to shoot in these places from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) authorities, who were initially reluctant as they feared damage to the monuments due to the shooting and presence of a huge crowd of people to watch the celebrities.

Eventually, only a small area of these monuments has been allotted for shooting, at Rs 5000 per day, the sources said. Also, parts of the monuments where the shoots are on would be cordoned off to keep away onlookers.

The remaining portions of the monuments will, however remain open to the public.

Trade sources say the film was to be shot in the Kashmir Valley but security concerns made the filmmakers change their plans.

Initially, the film was to be shot in Delhi for two days only.

However, the schedule has now been extended to nine days. Prior to Delhi, a brief shooting stint of the film was held in Mumbai. Being produced by Yashraj productions, the film, dealing with terrorism in Kashmir, also stars Tabu in a key role.

'Fanaah' is the second Hindi film in recent months to be shot at historical monuments. Earlier, Rakesh Mehra's 'Rang De Basanti' was shot in and around the historical monuments of Delhi.
