After encountering a few bumps, Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer 'Veere Di Wedding' will finally roll out in September. Sources close to the production reveal director Shashank Ghosh recently conducted a week-long recce of Thailand and Malaysia, and has zeroed in on a few locations.

A source close to Ghosh informs, "The locations are almost as significant as the characters. Of all the places he visited, he found Bangkok most appropriate from the story's point of view. That will be the first overseas schedule. The film is essentially a road trip, so it will also move to a few other locations in Thailand followed by Malaysia and four cities in India."

While the film was originally slated to go on floors last October, it was postponed following Kareena Kapoor Khan's pregnancy. It was rescheduled to December, and then the first quarter of this year, but producer Rhea Kapoor clarified last month that shoot will begin only in August. However, the source explains the principal shoot will kick off only in September. "That's because rains in the east could affect filming. Before that, individual portions of the four actresses will be shot in Mumbai." Sonam Kapoor and Bebo's girl gang includes Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania too.
The full cast will be announced only next month, adds another insider. "The plan was always to shoot across three countries. However, budgetary constraints required the film to be shot over just one schedule." The producers, though, have now managed to stretch the budget, allowing the film to be shot on a lavish scale. "It will be a straight 50-day schedule with no breaks in between," adds the source.
