Shahrukh Khan's Paheli that is being shot at break-neck speed is almost on the verge of completion. A final sequence involving a camel race will be shot in the scenic deserts of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan from April 7 to April 9. Once this scene is canned the entire shooting schedule of this film will be complete.
The music of Paheli will be released in the third week of April while Shahrukh fans won't have to wait much for the movie either as it's slated for a June 2005 release.
The film directed by Amol Palekar stars Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Amitabh Bachchan and Juhi Chawla in lead roles.

It seems like the Amol Palekar directed , Shah Rukh-Rani starrer with a working title ‘Ghost Ka Dost’ , has now been renamed ‘Paheli’.
The shooting of the film based on Vijay Dan Detha’s novel ‘Duvidha’, has already commenced and some sources also claim that Amitabh Bachchan and Juhi play cameos in the movie.
This is the only film Shah Rukh has given a green signal to for 2005.
Directed by veteran actor Amol Palekar and produced by SRK's Red Chillies this film stars Rani Mukherjee. It is a periodical set in Rajasthan. Ravi Chandran is roped for camera work. “Amol Palekar narrated the script. I liked it. It’s a very sweet story,” he says. What isn’t known yet is that the sweet story is actually a ghost story. Shah Rukh Khan plays a double role in Palekar’s untitled film. In one of the roles, SRK plays Rani Mukerji’s husband. In the other, he’s cast as a ghost. After the highly unexpected role in Swades, Palekar’s film would give SRK another chance to go beyond his image.

Paheli in snyc sound
By IndiaFM News Bureau, March 31st 2005 - 1245 hrs IST
Shahrukh Khan's Paheli has many firsts for its director Amol Palekar. Though the actor-director has made many offbeat films earlier, this is the first time that he is making a big-budget film with commercial considerations. Shahrukh was so impressed with the script that he not only decided to produce the film but also got in big names like Amitabh Bachchan, Rani mukherjee and Juhi Chawla to feature in the film.
Also this is the first time that Palekar is recording his film in sync sound. (The trend has caught on after Lagaan, Dil Chahta Hai and other recent films). Add to it Palekar is also incorporating grandeur sets and special effects in his film for the first time.
This one should be worth the wait

When 'Paheli' is already complete for release, Shah Rukh urged director Amol Palekar to cast Sunil Shetty. As the producer of the film, SRK doesn't want to loose his 'Main Hoon Naa' co-star. 'Main Hoon Naa' was one of the biggest hits of last year.
Shah Rukh wants to try Sunil in 'Paheli' as a luck factor.
Sunil will play a small but important roll opposite Juhi Chawla.
Srk thinks that Sunil is lucky for his production company!!!
‘‘CAN I produce this film?’’ Shah Rukh Khan asked Amol Palekar when he sought an appointment with Bollywood’s favourite star to ask him whether he would play the hero in his new big-budget film.
As it turned out, Sandhya Gokhale’s script of a legendary Rajasthani love story excited Shah Rukh — and a whole host of Bollywood biggies, it appears. Rani Mukherjee, Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Juhi Chawla, Sunil Shetty are all part of the star cast.
Though Palekar hates to admit it, Paheli sets a new precedent for him as director, where his audience will widen, thanks to all the ingredients of mainstream cinema that have gone into making the film, what with a high profile cast, six songs, special effects and elaborate sets.
Palekar’s got one of the best music directors — M M Kreem — on board, and Gulzar as lyricist. The playback singers include Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Madhushree and Shreya Ghoshal.
Paheli is based on the novel Duvidha penned by Rajasthan’s Sahitya Akademi winner Vijaydan Detha. A folk love story, Sandhya Gokhale says Mani Kaul made it into a film in 1963 but that ‘‘the perception was totally different.’’
In typical Palekar fashion, the film was shot in 43 days flat — 21 days in Rajasthan and 22 days in Mumbai. Palekar and Gokhale have just returned to the city after completing shooting. Says Palekar: ‘‘Now, the post production work will begin and since we want to make it technically very savvy, I cannot give a precise timeframe when the film will be complete but it should be over around Diwali.’’
Palekar, whose last commercial film Anaahat with Sonali Bendre made waves and ran to packed houses for months, says Paheli is a feel-good film. ‘‘You will want to see it again.’’ But he was reluctant to reveal either the story or the budget. ‘‘It is not as big a budget as Devdas nor as small as Anaahat.’’ Shah Rukh’s wife Gauri Khan is the producer of the film through her company, Red Chillies Entertainment.
Palekar, who is well-known for experimenting with variegated themes, says he had wanted to do a film on this novel for a long time. It took Palekar and Gokhale a year to research the project.
Palekar says he has many firsts in Paheli, like using elaborate sets — a sprawling haveli from the Navalgad area of Rajasthan was recreated; special effects, thanks to Shah Rukh who he says is extremely techno-savvy; and sync sound (not dubbing).
