Mumbai: While the whole world is in panic f swine flu. Bollywood seems to be following the quote "prevention is better than cure" and the first one to act upon it is none other than our famous filmmaker Karan Johar. Thus, Karan Johar has cancelled the two day shoot of his forthcoming flick "Qurbaan" which was to be carried out in Pune.

The filmmaker doesn't want to expose his stars and crew to any fatal danger.


Sources reveal that Kareena and Saif were expected to leave by August 7 while the unit was to reach by 8th or 9th. These were the last two days of the shoot and the stars were pretty excited to finish up with the movie to release.

She got a call from director Rensil D'silva and later Karan that the shooting had been canceled due to the swine flu scare.
