Shooting of 'Lamha' stopped due to suspicions

In a way, the shooting of Rahul Dholakia's next film titled as 'Lamha' which has got started in Kashmir can be called as the beginning of a war.

Although the director who shot to fame with the highly acclaimed film 'Parzania' has only noble intentions and wish to portray the problems faced by the natives of the state and present a sincere film on the deep complex crisis that has been prevailing in the state in a purely neutral manner, due to the deep sense of insecurity in the minds of the local population, totally unexpected hurdles are coming up for the crew and cast to deal with.

Rahul and his crew were shooting at the Parimpora fruit market situated in the capital city of Srinagar.

The fruit sellers got suspicious about the nature of the film being shot in their territory and stopped the shooting.

The traders feared that if they are shown in a bad light in the movie, it will be affecting their business and new problems will surface.

They also asked the director if he had got the permission of the local officers and the fruit sellers association to shoot in the marker and when Rahul told that he had not obtained any permission, the sellers asked him to wind up the shooting and move out.

More problems came up when the public who had swarmed to the market on hearing about the film's shooting saw a guy carrying an AK-47 gun.

In fact it was one of the actors of the film, Bunny Anand who was seen holding the gun.

But soon before the actual facts could be made clear, things got out of control and the committee members of the market locked up the main gate.

They demanded that the entire footage created from 7.30 a.m when the shooting had started be shown to them so that they can be sure that the footage contains no scenes which have an offending nature to the public or the traders.

Rahul Dholakia finally showed the whole recorded material and convinced the committee members of his purpose of making the film.

'Lamha' is a love story that has Sanjay Dutt and Bipasha Basu playing the lead roles.

We hope that the maverick film maker who has a lot to offer in terms of his cinematic talent wraps up the production of his ambitious movie safely and exactly the way in which he want it to turn out to be.
