Salman Khan’s Veer in trouble

February 17th, 2009

Salman Khan’s might have a big heart but he’s always ends up as a part of controversies.

Now his film ‘Veer’ is in the midst of a controversy but strangely this time around this time it’s with no fault of his. Much like how during the casting of the film, a starlet accused Anil Sharma of harassment.

The buzz is that the Anil Sharma directed film was being shot at the historical Amber Fort in Jaipur but recently had to face a spat of trouble as a complaint was lodged that the film crew was cheating the administration by paying for just the five days, when in reality they were present on the location for almost a month while setting up the set.

Strangely the film was shot down by the district court on grounds that the Amber fort did not fall under their jurisdiction. Then an accident happened on the sets of ‘Veer’ yesterday when a 20 foot long wall collapsed injuring fifteen people.

The Rajasthan High Court has now issued a stay order on the filming of ‘Veer’ in the fort. The Jaipur bench of the court has issued notice to the state government to explain why the norms relating to protected historical monuments were not followed and asked for a reply by March 3.

An initial complaint that was lodged and the stay order came.

The tourism business at the fort was also badly hit as most of the sections in the fort had been sealed off due to the shoot and this proved to be one of the causes too.
