'Golimaar' shoot disrupted
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,February 02 2010]
After a gap of more than a month, a film unit had to face the music of T-activists in the city. Goli Maar's unit was filming a scene in the Kukatpally area, when some agitators, who identified themselves as belonging to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, barged in and disrupted the shoot. Director Puri Jagannadh was present on the spot.
The grouse of the activists was this: Roja, an ex-TDP member and a supposedly Samaikhya Andhra proponent, was shooting there. The activists were not ready to allow Roja to shoot in the Telangana region.
Following the fracas, the unit decided to wrap up the shooting without completing the day's schedule. This is a fresh incident of violence or attempted violence against a Tollywood film unit.
The police stepped in at the right moment and dispersed the mob. In view of the law and order problem it posed to the area in the KPHB colony, they asked the unit to leave the place.
Roja went away from the spot following the incident.
