A verbal duel, between crew members of a film being produced by Pooja Bhatt and Superintendent of Police Udaipur, today broke out with the actress alleging that the police officer used abusive language at the set.
The incident took place during the shooting of Bhatt's next film 'Bad' at Udaipur Collectorate premises, which also houses Udaipur SP Hariprasad Sharma's office on the first floor, SHO Bhopalpura Gyanendra Singh said.
Offices at the premises were closed and the SP, who visited the office for some work, was denied entry inside his chamber by crew members because of the shooting, he added.
"The crew members were adamant...They were not allowing me to enter my chamber and asked me to speak to Mahesh Bhatt over the phone.
"Though they had permission for shooting here they cannot stop us entering our chamber," the SP said.
However, no action would be taken against the crew members as the matter was settled after few rounds of heated arguments and the SP finally got into his chamber, SHO Singh said.
Meanwhile, Pooja Bhatt alleged that the SP misbehaved with them and also used abused language.
"He was requested to wait for two minutes but he threatened and also used abusive language," Bhatt told reporters in Udaipur.
The SP, however, refuted the allegation.
