Speaking about the situation, Director Ankush Bhatt says, “The entire cast and crew of Bhindi Baazaar was so gripped in the shooting that we didn’t realize our folly. We had acquired permission to shoot in one of the many by-lanes in Bhindi Baazaar. As the scene progressed, we moved into another by lane for which we did had not have the consent from the authorities. Not realizing the fact that we were in the wrong location, we were questioned by the local police and let off after a few hours with a warning.”

Gautam Sharma, who will debut with ‘Bhindi Baazaar’ added, “Bhindi Bazaar comprises of small identical by-lanes which are difficult to distinguish. This led to the confusion. However, the local cops were very understanding and let us off in a couple of hours.”
