One of the biggest names in the Bollywood industry is Salman Khan and nobody ever dares to stop his shoot but Hanumant Rao Patil, a notorious member of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), is surely an exception. The incident occurred last week at the Mehboob Studios in Bandra where Salman was shooting for his forthcoming film before Patil, who is a self-styled mafia lord, came barging in and stopped the shoot, Zee News reports.
As per the reports, Hanumant Rao, this is not the first time Hanumant Rao has done such a thing. He has been going on upstaging B-town shoots and tormenting filmmakers in the Hindi cinema industry. Everyone knows the 46-year-old Salman Khan, also known as Sallu, is a pretty hot-head. Nevertheless, this time the actor has surprised many out there by opting to remain cool.
As per Hanumant Rao the reason for the stoppage was that the producer Rehman Lamba was not registered with FWICE and he was supposed to pay the fine before he could continue shooting. Salman Khan and Rehman Lamba have not filed any official complaint as of yet but reportedly Salman has discussed the incident with the General Secretary of FWICE, Dinesh Chaturvedi, who has done a cameo in Salman’s upcoming film ‘Dabangg 2’, and it looks as if he is extremely unhappy with the whole situation.
Hanumant Rao is currently heading the ‘Still photography Department’ of the FWICE but now the higher level members have decided to revoke his appointment. Dinesh Chaturvedi, General Secretary FWICE said, “We have not issued a business member card to Patil. But we had appointed him as the Head of Still Photography. But if this is the way he is going to function, we shall not issue the card to him.”
Prem Singh Thakur, the Vice Chairman of Allied Mazdoor Union, a part of FWICE, also commented on the whole situation. Thakur said, “Stopping Salman’s shoot is just not done. The same goes for any other shoot actually. FWICE is not here to inconvenience people. We don’t demand money from people. We resolve issues amicably. What Patil is doing is just not done.”
