Soon after megastar Salman Khan was granted a bail from the court, he resumed shooting for his on-going film, Race 3 . A few days ago, the entire cast of the film returned from Abu Dhabi and South Africa was decided as their next shooting location. But because of Salman’s blackbuck poaching case, the team decided to choose a nearby location to finish the shoots on time, and hence they zeroed in on Leh and Ladakh for a special song.

“According to the original plan, South Africa was going to be the second last schedule followed by the Mumbai leg. After the court sentencing, certain changes had to be made in the schedule. The makers felt it would be feasible to wrap up the Mumbai schedule first so that they didn’t lose out on time. Towards the month-end, they will head to Leh to film the song that was initially meant to be canned in foreign locales,” a source informed a daily.

Confirming this, the film’s director Remo D’Souza said, “We were scouting for locations, and finally decided on Leh and Ladakh. It’s going to be a week-long shoot during which we will film a song.” Producer Ramesh Taurani also said, “Leh will add to the aesthetic value of the number”

Starring Salman Khan , Anil Kapoor , Jacqueline Fernandez , Daisy Shah , Bobby Deol , Freddy Daruwala and Saqib Saleem , Race 3 is scheduled to release on 15th June and its much-awaited trailer is reported to come out on 27th April.
