The film's shooting reportedly suffered initially due to Harrison Ford's absence, but now things are said to be under control as there are many actors in the movie, whose scenes can be shot now.
"The initial day or two after the accident it was hard to move things around but now we have had more time we can juggle things, bring some scenes forward and push others back.
"There are lots of other actors in the movie so it is not a disaster. We are still confident the film can stay on schedule," the source said.
Meanwhile, Mr Ford's wife Calista Flockhart said at the weekend she is flying out to the UK to be by his side. (Also read: Harrison Ford Injures Ankle on Set of Star Wars: Episode VII)
