Trouble In Paradise! J&K Tourism Board Sends Legal Notice To Abhishek Bachchan’s Manmarziyaan
The Jammu & Kashmir Tourism Board has sent a legal notice to Abhishek Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu starrer Manmarziyaan for shooting at the prohibited area of Thajiwas glacier.
Anurag
Kashyap's
directorial
Manmarziyaan
starring
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Taapsee
Pannu
has
received
a
legal
notice
from
the
Jammu
&
Kashmir
Tourism
Board
for
shooting
at
the
prohibited
area
of
Thajiwas
glacier.
Anyone
who
wishes
to
shoot
at
the
Thajiwas
glacier
needs
to
take
permission
from
five
different
departments,
which
the
film-makers
failed
to
do.
MidDay
reported
that
a
local
environmentalist
named
Faiz
Bakshi
has
filed
a
a
PIL
in
the
J&K
High
Court
against
the
film-makers
for
flouting
the
rules
and
shooting
illegally.
He
also
stated
that
Abhishek
Bachchan
was
present
during
the
shoot
at
the
location.
Faiz
Bakshi
was
quoted
as
saying,
"[The
area]
is
a
gated
property.
So
obviously,
someone
higher
up
allowed
that
entry.
This
is
a
lapse
on
the
part
of
the
local
administration.
There
are
five
departments
required
[in
granting
permission]
-
the
District
Magistrate,
Department
of
Tourism,
Sonmarg
Development
Authority,
Department
of
Wildlife
Protection
in
Kashmir,
and
the
cops."
He
took
the
film-makers
and
the
authorities
to
task
by
saying,
"I
won't
say
the
filmmaker
is
not
to
be
blamed,
but
the
unit
couldn't
have
done
it
by
themselves."
Also,
Taapsee
Pannu's
representatives
opened
up
to
HT
by
saying,
"We
aren't
aware
of
this.
As
for
our
knowledge,
the
film
has
finished
shooting.
The
production
house
would
be
able
to
answer
better
as
we
aren't
aware
of
this
and
Taapsee
is
out
of
the
country
at
the
moment."
Taapsee
Pannu
had
been
sharing
a
few
pictures
from
the
valley
on
her
Twitter
handle
and
every
bit
of
it
looked
breathtaking.
She
captioned
her
recent
image
as,
"Dear
Kashmir,
You
truly
proved
to
be
"Paradise" for
me.
Lost
and
found
wali
feeling
became
beautiful
courtesy
you.
Phir
milenge......
agli
baar
jab
mausam
thoda
behtar
hoga!
Love
Rumi

Manmarziyaan
is
a
special
movie
as
we'll
get

Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Taapsee
Pannu
for
the
first
time
on
the
silver
screen.
