Bollywood cinemas

P.K. (also spelled Peekay) is an upcoming 2014 political satire directed by Rajkumar Hirani, with Junaid Khan co-directing. The film stars Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma and had an initial projected release date of December 25, 2013. Delays in the filming schedule have pushed back the release date to an undetermined 2014 release.
Director Hirani has stated that the film will be a satire about "God and godmen".
Hirani cast Sushant Singh Rajput after Kai Po Che director Abhishek Kapoor showed him Rajput's rushes. Veteran actor Sanjay Dutt was also cast in the film, with an unnamed source saying that Dutt would be performing a pivotal role. Anushka Sharma, Ram Sethi, and Aamir Khan were all confirmed to be performing in the film, with Khan stated to be portraying lead character P.K. Arshad Warsi was briefly rumored to be involved with the film, which he later denied, stating that he while he had been offered a role in the film, he had turned it down due to scheduling issues. Rumors also stated that Hirani had approached Imran Khan, which Hirani also denied.


Filming:
Co-director Khan began looking for shooting locations in July 2012. Second unit filming was set to begin in late 2012, which was stalled after the rumored departure of three department heads for the film and bad weather stalling initial shoots. Hirani denied rumors that the film would be delayed, stating that principal filming had always been intended to begin in mid-January 2013 in Delhi and Rajasthan in order to "capture the winter of Delhi". Shooting officially began on February 1, 2013, with the filming scheduled to occur over a 45-day period. Some of the scenes are recorded in the famous historical city of Bruges (Belguim - Europe) from June 10 to June 19, 2013.
