MUMBAI: Members of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena targeted Amitabh Bachchan again on Tuesday by disrupting the shooting of a film being produced by the actor's AB Corp.
The cine wing of the party stalled the shooting of his film Bbuddah that was going on at United Mills in Mumbai alleging foreigners with no work permit being part of a song sequence.
A member of the cine wing said, "We found out that most of the foreigners shooting on the film set were without work permits. We filed a complaint with Shivaji Park police station and requested them to raid the set. All the papers of the 17 foreigners on the set have been confiscated and taken by the police which are being verified."
The member alleged that there were a few others with tourist visa, but when the film production unit saw them they packed the foreigners off from the set. "Even Amitabh Bachchan who was present at the time went missing after some time," the member added.
Ameya Khopkar, president of the cine wing of the MNS said, "We will not allow Amitabh Bachchan to shoot as what his company has done is completely illegal and against the law. Here our people are not getting work and his company is hiring foreigners who don't have work permits and there are some whose visas have expired in 2009."
Khopkar further said, "The film unit has not even taken permission for the shooting from the local police which is mandatory for any film shoot. We have lodged our complaint and the police has promised to take against the AB Corp."
DCP S Mahavarkar told mediapersons the police is investigating the complaint and papers of the foreigners working on the film set are being examined at present.
Amitabh Bachchan remained unavailable for comment.
