When the crowd saw Tia sitting in the Jeep that we were shooting in, they all surrounded the jeep the minute i said action. And they started banging the car with their hands, " says the Director.

"In fact earlier too, there was another film that was being shot there in the early 80's and a similar situation had happened then too...And at that time the cast/crew were hurt too...Luckily we were safe," says Maqbool.
