A couple of months ago, there were rumours of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif refusing to fly overseas for the shoot of 'Jagga Jasoos', forcing director Anurag Basu to suspend the Moroccan schedule and create exotically designed sets in the city itself. After apparently much coaxing, the former lovebirds agreed to fly out to the North African country on Sunday night, but boarded separate flights, says a source.

"Since things went wrong between them, the duo has been keeping a distance from each other while maintaining a strictly professional equation. But they surprised everyone by deciding not to travel to Morocco together," says a source.

Katrina is believed to have boarded a late night flight via London while Ranbir took off four hours earlier with a layover in Abu Dhabi. "The crew has already flown in to Morocco. It will be a 10-day schedule and the film's much-delayed shoot will finally be wrapped up," adds the source.
