The two actors are in Budapest to shoot for Force 2, sequel to John's Force (2011), and the ongoing schedule is supposed to wind up by October 22. Since the beginning of the year, Hungary has had been dealing with more than 1,50,000 migrants from war-struck Syria crossing over from Asia to Europe and settling in the tiny country.

On September 15, migrants trying to cross in to Hungary from the Serbian side were met with tear-gas and water canons as the country tightened its refugee laws. The new laws stated that refugees wouldn't be allowed to enter Hungary unless they were fingerprinted and approved legally.

"The current environment of Budapest, where a unit of the film is based, has generated political discussion with Syrian War refugees attempting to enter that region of Europe through Hungary and Germany. The shoot was slated for September 6, but producer Vipul Shah had asked the team to put it off until September 12," informs a source.

There may have been minor set backs due to the political situation, but Sonakshi and John are not complaining:

The team had, however, decided on the location well in advance and did not want to change the venue. The insider adds, "Many Hollywood films have been shot in Budapest, and the makers of this film had also zeroed in on an interesting place in the city to kick-start the first schedule."

An official spokesperson from Force 2 confirms the news, saying, "The unit had to delay the shoot by a few days due to political turmoil in the Hungarian capital. The team has kicked off the shoot now and is running on schedule."

The film will see Abraham reprise his role from the prequel. Force hit screens in 2011, and starred Genelia Deshmukh and John Abraham as the lead pair. This time, Sonakshi Sinha has been roped in opposite Abraham.
