Meanwhile, a source from the Lucknow line-production team informed that there is no question of denying fees as the shooting has not started yet. “The confusion was created by the local casting coordinator as junior artistes were called just to get the hang of things in the run-up to shooting. Police intervened and everything has been sorted out,” he said.
Another source in the shooting team said, “Some people were called but more than required people turned up today and they all wanted to be accommodated on the first day of shoot. Everything is under control now and we are set to roll from Friday.”
