Hansal Mehta Accuses Authorities of Treating Film Crew as Trespassers at Pralay Azad Maidan

Director Hansal Mehta has taken to the media to voice his frustration over the way authorities handled his film crew during a shoot at Pralay Azad Maidan. In a statement released to The Indian Express, Mehta said the crew was treated as if they were trespassing on the premises.

The incident reportedly occurred while the director was filming a project that required access to the open-air venue. Mehta alleged that the security personnel denied the crew permission to work and questioned their presence, leading to a tense confrontation.

The director has not yet indicated whether he will pursue legal action or seek a formal apology from the authorities. The incident has drawn attention to the challenges faced by film crews in securing clearances for shooting in public spaces.
