Emraan Hashmi's film shoot faces protest in Haridwar
India, June 13 -- A video surfaced on social media on Thursday, showing trouble in Haridwar, Uttarakhand during the filming of actor Emraan Hashmi's next project. According to reports, the controversy started after locals took offence at a signboard reading "Cafe & Bar", which was part of the on-location set.
The clip showed residents engaged in a heated debate with the crew, including security personnel and members of the production team, objecting to the word "Bar" on the signboard, and arguing that it was inappropriate for a city like Haridwar. They alleged that it hurt religious sentiments and diminished the city's spiritual significance. Hashmi was nowhere to be seen in the footage.
According to local reports, the dispute was finally resolved when the crew agreed to remove the word "Bar" from the signboard, satisfying the protestors and allowing the shoot to resume.
Meanwhile, several videos of Hashmi meeting fans in Uttarakhand also surfaced on social media. The actor did not issue any statement regarding the reported protest on the set till the time of going to press. There is also still no official confirmation about the title of the film or the team behind the project.
