Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi who was shooting for his next flick ‘Ground Zero’ here for the last one month has wrapped up its Kashmir schedule.
“And it’s a schedule wrap, ” Emraan wrote in a Twitter post while putting a couple of pictures with the crew. “The shoot completed on Saturday and the crew has flown back to Mumbai on Sunday,” said a member of Khawar Jamsheed (KJ) Productions, organiser of the shooting in Kashmir.
