Ammtoje Mann's "Kaafila", which revolves around illegal immigration and human trafficking was shoot at actual locations - the routes that begin from Wagha border and lead to European countries via Russia, Iran and Turkey, etc.

Melnik is a town in Bulgaria on the Greek border where the unit was shooting. They were shooting sequences depicting how photographs are faked to procure bogus visas.

When the shooting was in progress, 6-7 black land cruisers arrived and the unit members saw a group of people fully dressed in black - hats, jackets and pistols getting out from the cars. The scene was straight from a Hollywood flick.

The group also had some lady companions like they show in films, approached them and wanted to know what was going on? The shooting co-ordinators explained to them that an Indian film unit was in the midst of a shoot.

"Ask them to be less noisy", the leader of the group ordered. They greeted the film unit and went away.

It was after they left that the unit was told that the group which just left, headed Bulgarian mafia that is part of an international ring involved in human trafficking and illegal immigration. And the bungalow in front of which the shooting took place belonged to them. In fact they had all come there for a meeting that day.

What would have happened if the mafia had learnt what the unit was filming? The unit, now safely back in India, shudders with disbelief with their encounter with real mafia on whose activities they were making a film.
