DHAKA: The filming of the movie was put on hold in November, 2013, after actor Paul Walker died in a fiery car crash in California, but the shooting is said to start in April.

At the time of his death, Walker was more than halfway through filming his scenes as Brian O’Conner and studio bosses at Universal are said to have decided to retire his character so the franchise can continue.

‘Fast & Furious 7’, which also stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Dwayne Johnson, is set to hit the theatres in April, 2015.
