And the very next day there was pandemonium at a mall in Mumbai, where the film���s lead pair Govinda and Celina Jaitley were shooting. A man named Aman Ghajaria started abusing the actors for no apparent reason. He claimed to be one of the shopkeepers in the mall, but director Aditya Dutt says, ���I later found out that he was only related to one of the shopkeepers.��� The shoot, which was taking place at the lobby of the mall, was interrupted when Aman attempted to attack Govinda.
Says Aditya, ���This kurta-clad man came and tried to grab Govinda because he was standing in the front. That���s when Govinda���s security Chandrakant Mukkan pushed him back before the police arrested him.���
The cast and the crew were left stunned by the incident and Aditya was upset by the abuse Aman spewed. He says, ���I was worried because there were women at the location. Celina was shooting. We saw five other men coming towards us.��� The men accused them of shooting without permission. ���I told them the production team had permission from the mall authorities,��� says Aditya.Reports suggest that because of the shoot, shopkeepers and shoppers were not allowed entry. But Aditya says that���s not true. ���We let everyone in; we just requested them to not look into the camera,��� he explains. Wasn���t he apprehensive of the stars getting mobbed? ���We can���t create sets for a mall shot, so it had to be on location. Films with mall scenes are shot that way,��� he remarks.Not a dream beginning, this! But Aditya says it could have been worse. ���I was lucky that the incident occurred after we had wrapped up the day���s shoot. My work could���ve been affected otherwise,��� he says.
