TV channels gherao her van as she stays locked inside, refusing to reveal 'new look' for film
Celina Jaitly has been shooting non-stop for Nari Hira's Accident On Hill Road for the last one month. The actress has huge hopes pinned on the film as was evident when she attended acting workshops, took lessons and even sported a brand new look. 
She has consciously avoided talking about her character in this dark thriller; and has ensured that she had no visitors on the sets. She has been particularly secretive about her look in the film, which has partly been created by Bollywood's styling expert Hakim Aalim.
Won't come out
Yesterday, on the last day of shooting of the film directed by Mahesh Nair (who earlier assisted Ram Gopal Verma), the climax was being shot and the atmosphere was tense for everyone on the sets, including Celina and her co-stars Farooque Sheikh and Abhimanyu Singh.
The problem happened when a few television channels landed up on the sets to cover the film's shooting. Celina was inside her vanity van when she heard of this, and refused to come out of the van as she didn't want her look exposed.
Won't leave
The media brigade kept waiting for the actress to come out but she was in no mood to oblige. She sent a message across that she wanted to reveal the look only through the first promos of the film. Finally, the TV reporters decided to gherao Celina's van and they refused to budge until they met Celina.
Miscommunication
The cat-and-mouse game continued until the TV crew finally gave up and left. Only then, did Celina walk out of the van to reach the sets. An eyewitness says, "There was a bit of miscommunication between the production house and the publicist.
The media was not supposed to be present on the last day of shooting. It wasn't Celina's fault. She was totally unprepared for this media intrusion. It was all sorted out when members of the production team made the channels understand that there had been some confusion."
I'm media-made
When we spoke to Celina, she maintained, "It was an order given to me by the director and production company. They want to safeguard my look and want to reveal it only when the film is up for release. I can never ill-treat the media. I am a media-made person myself.
Just because I am tied in a contract as a professional actress I just have to honour it. Also, anyways, I was in blood and gore from head to toe and I don't think it would have made me look good on TV!"
Accident On Hill Road is based on a true story and will go into post-production soon. The film is expected to hit the screens in September.u00a0u00a0
