ABVP attacks Chiru kin's film shooting unit in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, Dec 23 (PTI) Attacks on film shootings
continued in the state capital Hyderabad (capital of India's
southern state of Andhra Pradesh) for the second day Wednesday
with a film unit of Allu Aravind, brother-in-law of Praja
Rajyam Party chief Chiranjeevi, coming under attack by Akhil
Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists.

Activists of the student-wing affiliated to the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) obstructed shooting of a Telugu
movie produced by Aravind, on the outskirts of the city
Wednesday.
The film unit was planning to take up shooting of the
movie at a location behind the Ramoji film city and set up its
equipments, when some members of the ABVP suddenly went to the
area and stopped the unit from taking the shooting, a senior
police officer said.
"About eight activists of the ABVP went to the area
where a tent was erected to undertake the shooting of the film
and threatened the crew members to stop its shooting and to
immediately pack up," L B Nagar DCP A Satyanarayana told PTI,
adding the activists ran away after seeing the police.
Aravind was, however, not present at the location when
the incident happened, he said.
The ABVP activists also warned the crew members. "You
better take up the film shooting in Andhra region and not in
Telangana," they allegedly said, according to another police
official. Hayathnagar police are investigating the matter.
The incident comes a day after Telangana Rashtra
Samithi (TRS) activists disrupted shooting of a Telugu movie,
starring Manoj, son of noted Telugu actor M Mohan Babu. (More)
