London:
John Travolta's upcoming movie about the notorious Gotti family has been put on hold due to financial issues.
Travolta, 57, is due to star as late Mafia boss John Gotti - who died in prison in 2002 - in upcoming movie 'Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father' alongside his real-life wife Kelly
Preston and actor Al Pacino, Daily Star reported.
Filming is slated to begin in January but a new report suggests production has been put on hold. Reports suggest work on the project has come to a halt and won't resume until more financing is secured.
"If (producer) Marc Fiore doesn't come up with money this week, and doesn't show that more is coming, and that he's really secured financing, it could all fall apart," a source said.
The film's producers are also facing a legal battle with 'Goodfellas' star Joe Pesci, who has sued bosses at Fiore Films over allegations that he was offered a 2 million pounds deal to play Angelo Ruggiero, an associate of Gotti.
