Vidhu Vinod Chopra shared his frustration over disruptive activities at Film City, where the loud music from ongoing events was interfering with the filming of '12th Fail.' In response, he and his crew confronted the neighboring set, instructing them to cease the noise. The filmmaker reminisced about a heated argument with another producer, sparked by the disturbance caused by the noise from their set affecting his shoot.
The eminent filmmaker furthermore said that he urged the students of Whistling Woods (film school) to communicate with Film City, advocating for the space to be dedicated to film shoots rather than events that make use of high-octane sound.
“Imagine, 40-50 people from our set walked to the other set. I said, ‘Jo bhi ye plug hai, nikalo isko.‘ The producer, whose identity you might learn later, told me, ‘Arey tum gunda gardi kar rahe ho’ and I shot back, ‘Main sar toduga tera!’ This is Film City, we make cinema here, ye tum log kya ghatiya kar rahe ho? I would request you guys to please draft a letter, I would sign it. Please stop this nonsense,” he said.
