Abhishek Bachchan scuffles with photo journalists |
|
 Two news cameramen sustained minor injuries and their camera equipment was damaged when unit members of a Hindi feature film and its hero Abhishek Bachchan reportedly attempted to stop them from taking photographs.
A first information report was later filed by the two cameramen - Mustafa Qureshi and Umesh Puri - who were given some first aid at the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
According to witnesses, Abhishek - son of megastar Amitabh Bachchan - grabbed Umesh Puri from behind to prevent him from taking a photograph of Mustafa being beaten up, attracting a large number of crew members who beat him up and damaged his camera equipment.
Abhishek was whisked away in his car. Abhishek and Jackie Shroff were shooting on the road between the North and South Blocks and at Vijay Chowk for the film 'Bus itna sa khwaab hai' directed by Goldie Behl. The film also stars Rani Mukherjee and Sushmita Sen.
The trouble started when Mustafa wanted to take the photograph of a woman unit member trying to control the crowd with the help of a wooden staff. Although he refrained from taking the photograph, the unit members were not satisfied and wanted to snatch his camera, resulting in the scuffle.
Ironically, Abhishek had put on fake blood stains for a scene in the film, and these stains left their mark on the shirt of Puri where the actor held him. A large number of journalists and cameramen signed as witnesses at the Parliament Street Police Station.
