Actor Ravi Kishan's campaigning stint in UP had filmmakers crying foul as he left a shoot incomplete.
Yeh to hona hi tha... The frenzy of the ongoing UP assembly elections has caught up with the B-towners in a big way and a number of them are making their presence felt in the state to lend support for the candidates who host them here. While that is good news for star-struck UPites, it leaves filmmakers in a lurch.
The most recent example is of actor Ravi Kishan, who allegedly left the shooting of a song of 'Zilla Ghaziabad' midway, that was being held in Kamalistan studio in Mumbai, when he received a call to campaign in UP.
The three-day schedule was for an item song, which also features Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Shriya Saran along with Ravi Kishan. Kishan, who shot for the first two days, left the shooting to campaign for a political party in UP, according to sources.
Sources from the sets add, "Since the dance sequence had other actors with equally busy schedules, so Sanjay Dutt, who himself was to campaign in UP, had asked Ravi Kishan to finish his shooting commitments before going for the election campaigning. But Kishan reportedly opted for the latter."
Kishan, who was seen in several cities in his role of a star campaigner, however denies that his departure for electioneering disturbed the film's schedule.
In fact, according to him, his departure for UP was by mutual consent with Sanjay Dutt. He says, "I had completed my work. In fact, the shooting was getting overstretched. The dance sequence was complete and there is only one scene left with Sanjay Dutt, which by mutual agreement we will shoot once I return."
