Kaabil director Sanjay Gupta alleges threat by neta on Mumbai Saga set

Sanjay Gupta, filmmaker, producer, and screenwriter who is known for his blockbuster films like 'Kaante', 'Kaabil' and more, took to his Twitter handle to share a rather uncomfortable experience from his next film 'Mumbai Saga' sets. In a series of three tweets, Gupta alleged that a 'goon', a 'political leader' with cronies from his party, came on his sets to disrupt the shoot and demand the share. Not revealing the politcal leader's name or the location, Gupta explained how the 'neta' made 'rediculous' demands like photo op with stars. When they refused, local cops came down to shut the shoot. He concluded by saying that fortunately they were done filming the main scene. Gupta also said that he will never shoot in that place again.
