“We were shooting in a factory today with valid permission and due money paid to the location manager. We were shooting since 7 am and around 4.30 pm, some four people were intoxicated, carrying arms and rods in their hands.”
“They attacked our artistes, technicians and crew. They said we cannot shoot there without their permission. There was no scope for dialogue, discussion. They manhandled women, attacked our director of photography, our director has dislocated his shoulder,” Sakett Saawhney said in the video.
Actor Mahie said that a man came to attack her meanwhile she ran towards her car and saw that the goons were “hitting people like animals”.
“We are not going to the police as they themselves were telling the goons to hit us,” the actor said.
Meanwhile, Sakett said that when the police patrol vehicle arrived, they told them the incident, but the police closed the premises door, the crew did not let their luggage be collected and they demanded money.
“They said that come to the court and then take your belongings, it is a complete harassment. We have deliberately called the police not to file a complaint because you will call the other party, they have a NC (non-cognizable offense) and they are out on bail.
“We, on the other hand, will forever be running to the court and be branded as ‘criminals’. It is harassment for the industry,” he added.
