MUMBAI: The shooting of Warner Bros. Pictures‘ and Legendary Pictures‘ Due Date is underway. The film is being directed by Todd Phillips, whose most recent film The Hangover, for Warner broke box-office records.

The film that is produced by Phillips and Dan Goldberg and stars Robert Downey Jr and Zach Galifianakis tells the tale of two unlikely companions who are thrown together on a road trip that turns out to be as life-changing as it is outrageous. Michelle Monaghan and Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx also comprise the cast.

Downey plays Peter Highman, an expectant first-time father whose wife‘s due date is a mere five days away. As Peter hurries to catch a flight home from Atlanta to be at her side for the birth, his best intentions go completely awry when a chance encounter with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay forces Peter to hitch a ride with Ethan-on what turns out to be a cross-country road trip that will ultimately destroy several cars, numerous friendships and Peter‘s last nerve.

The film will be shot on various locations across the USA, including Georgia, New Mexico, Arizona and Los Angeles.
