Bipasa Basu in trouble in a Shoot in Srinagar

All precautions were taken for the shooting of producer Bunty Walia’s film Lamha in Srinagar but still there serious trouble on the sets. The movie is a first of sorts to be shot in post insurgency Kashmir.

Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the movie’s shooting ran into trouble with protesting mobs. The mob was protesting the shooting involving Bipasha Basu starring as a Kashmiri girl. Even the Police force responsible was rendered ineffectual against the mob.

No one was injured but lead actress Bipasha Basu had to run for cover and exit the scene. This was lesson enough for the filmmakers. They had intended to shoot the movie completely in Kashmir but now have abandoned the idea.

The film is supposed to present a realistic look of the state with Guns and militancy etc. This was the reason that the locals were protesting. Soon after Dholakia called a press conference in which he made clear his intentions of making the picture and his commitment to portray the state and its people in the right light. Now majority of the pic will be shot in a Mumbai studio.
