Ranbir Kapoor Urged Neetu Kapoor to Return During Shimla Shoot

Ranbir Kapoor called ranbir kapoor from the sidelines of a tense shoot and told Neetu Kapoor, “Mumma, please come back.” She was filming Daadi Ki Shaadi in Shimla during the India-Pakistan conflict, and the production kept moving even as the situation turned serious.

Shimla Shoot Under Pressure

“This is the safest place right now, nobody is going to drop bombs here,” Neetu Kapoor told him. Her reply explains the production’s operating reality: the cast and crew were working in Shimla while the war had started, and the team carried on after that point.

Kapil Sharma said, “So many things happened during the making of this film. The war had started, and the situation had become very serious at that time. I think Ranbir had called you.” That line pulls the story away from family concern and into the practical conditions around the shoot, where schedule discipline mattered even with a serious conflict in the background.

Cottages Instead of Vanity Vans

Daadi Ki Shaadi was shot without vanity vans on location in Shimla, and the cast and crew stayed in cottages instead of hotels because of space constraints. That setup forced the production into a tighter, more contained routine, with less separation between work and downtime.

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni is making her acting debut with the film, and Ashish R Mohan is directing it. The release is set for 8 May, which lines the project up with Mother’s Day and gives the film a built-in publicity hook beyond the on-set story.

8 May Release Window

The most useful takeaway for readers is that Daadi Ki Shaadi is already scheduled for theatres on 8 May, so the family anecdote now sits alongside a firm release date. For a film built under war-time pressure in Shimla, that is the real checkpoint: whether the finished product can carry the weight of the production story when it reaches cinemas.
