Mumbai: When Shubh Mukherjee set out to make Shakal Pe Mat Ja, a film inspired by the ease with which bombs can be planted in Indian cities, he didn't anticipate he would become a terror suspect in real life!
A while ago, he got into trouble for shooting without adequate permission near the Indian Parliament. And now we learn he was detained at Delhi airport before boarding the flight to Mumbai for carrying six odd fake guns!
Shubh explains that he had to carry the guns as the letter of consent was with him. "Since I was returning to Mumbai a day later than my crew, I had to carry the guns. But I was held up for about five hours at the airport.
During the course of his detention, the filmmaker missed two flights, as a result of which his shoot in Mumbai was delayed.
"The airport department has to inform all airlines flying around the time of my flight. So even though I had the consent later, I guess that probably wasn't enough," he adds.
Interestingly, he has added a couple of relevant scenes in his movie based on this experience. "As it is, I'm making a realistic film. What I went through will only add to bring out that reality," he concludes.
