"We are shifting to night schedules to avoid confusion and traffic snarls. So from now on, we are going to shoot at night," Gupta told IANS.

The outdoor shooting Dec 5-6 involved Emraan to walk on the highway as well as drive a car. Gupta says they are yet to shoot a "lot more outdoor sequences with Emraan".

After people spotted Emraan, the crowd started to swell. In an hour's time, there were around 5,000 people. The result was a huge traffic jam on the expressway for two consecutive days.

Ghanchakkar, which also features Vidya Balan, is slated to release June 21.
