Mumbai: There were some unexpected guests on the sets of Tezz at Filmistan Studios yesterday. A couple of Shiv Sainiks arrived to check on the foreigners who were present for the shoot.
Mallika Sherawat, who is doing an item number Laila in the movie, was shooting when the Shiv Sainiks arrived. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Zayed Khan, Kangna Ranaut and Sameera Reddy.
A unit source said, "They (Shiv Sainiks) said that they would not allow foreigners to shoot for a Hindi movie in Maharashtra."
The source adds, "The production head explained to them that the foreigners were there for a couple of shots that would be wrapped up in just an hour."
But according to an insider, "The production personnel told the Shiv Sainiks that there were no foreigners on the sets. The dancers present were all members of their respective association.
It was just that since the film's story is set in London, we had a couple of foreigners playing cops coming to check the pub for Ajay and Zayed's characters, while Mallika is performing."
Fortunately for the Tezz team, the issue was sorted out by late afternoon. "After we had finished couple of shots featuring the foreigners, they left. And the shoot continued as normally as before," informs the unit source.
Producer Ratan Jain confirmed that some Shiv Sainiks had arrived on the sets. "My people spoke to them and it was sorted out. The shoot is going on and will be wrapped up in three days."
