Cast & Crew of Luv Kush Shooting stalled

The story of Luv Kush is set in Ayodhya — which is considered to be the birthplace of Lord Ram. The makers were considering to shooting at the real locations in Uttar Pradesh’s Faizabad district but later they decided to choose some exotic and remotest villages of Kashmir for a month-long schedule which was stalled due to an unfortunate incident.

Speaking about the unfortunate event happened in Kashmir, the creative director of the show, Siddhartha Tewatiya told TellyChakkar, “With the on-going political tension in the valley & also the killing of a mastermind terrorist few weeks ago, we were mentally prepared to play it safe and to our surprise the locals had been the kindest and generous but this incident took us completely by surprise. We were to shoot one of the most crucial scenes involving God Ram’s chariot & had arranged for 25 horses from all across Kashmir. It was late afternoon while shooting on a mountain top which was inaccessible by road, we saw a couple of teenage boys approaching asking us to stop shooting. Our local line producer tried to reason them and we believed the situation was under control until a couple of minutes later we were surrounded by over 50 of them ready to pelt stones marching towards us. We were saved by the bell as CRPF reached us on time & rescued us.”

“It was a horrifying experience, we had to film a very important scene and had flown a chariot especially to the mountainous terrain, we called Siddharth and updated him on the incident as we had a lot at stake but he asked us to return immediately, we then moved towards Srinagar and took the first flight back home,” he added.

The director of the show Siddharth Kumar Tewary was grateful as the entire team was brought back to Mumbai without suffering any injuries. He told the publication, ” The entire team travels and works with us on complete trust and faith, we are responsible for them. Though there were assurances from different people for complete safety going ahead but there is no substitute to human life, Nothing more important. We have shot in Kashmir for a quite a few times over the last decade but it’s never been like this ever, I thank the CRPF for coming in at the right time and ensuring the safety of our team. ”
