Abbas, John take a break

Abbas Tyrewala has voluntarily called a halt to the shooting of his 1-800-LOVE at Mehboob Studios from September 26.
Evidently Abbas was unhappy with the result of the shooting and gave his cast and crew a break to allow them to take a breather after the hectic shooting schedule in London.
Director Abbas Tyrewala was forthright. He said, ���We have been shooting non-stop.We are all exhausted... me, John and Pakhi. The quality of work was suffering. When I looked at the shots, I saw the difference in quality. We���re in no hurry. All of us are so much into the project that we can afford to take time off without bothering about the wasted dates.���
The unit was shooting in London during August and September and began its Mumbai schedule last week. ���We immediately got into the Mumbai schedule. We needed a break,��� said Abbas.
Although it���s not decided yet when the unit will resume shooting, the director has decided to scrap some portions that he shot in Mumbai. ���I don���t want to shoot anything that I would have to edit. I have already edited out Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak���s role (from the script) because it didn���t fit in,��� said Abbas.
