Opposing
Maharashtra
Government's
tax
regulation,
Bollywood
Celebrity
Vanity
Van
association
will
go
on
an
indefinite
strike
from
December
10,
a
move
likely
to
affect
shooting
of
Akshay
Kumar's
Kesari
and
Netflix's
Sacred
Games
2.
The
Non-cooperation
movement
against
the
State
government
by
the
All
Camper
Van
Owner's
Association
which
has
250
vans
under
it
will
leave
around
500
workers
with
no
jobs
and
hit
over
5000
workers
who
earn
on
daily
wages.
Ketan
Rawal,
President,
All
Camper
Van
Owners
Association,
said
their
client
roaster
includes
A
list
stars
like
Ajay
Devgn,
Saif
Ali
Khan,
John
Abraham,
Arjun
Rampal,
Kangana
Ranaut,
Sonakshi
Sinha,

Pannu,
Disha

"Ajay
is
shooting
for
his
home
production
Tanaji,
Kangana's
shoot
is
on,
Saif
is
doing
Sacred
Games
2,
John's
Batla
House
Mumbai
schedule
will
begin
now.
Arjun
is
doing
a
web
series,
Sonakshi
and
Taapsee
are
both
shooting
for
a
film
with
Akshay.
"So
everyone
is
busy
with
shoots
right
now.
If
the
vans
aren't
available,
the
shooting
will
be
hampered.
Honestly,
we
are
feeling
bad.
I've
been
in
the
industry
for
25
years
and
believe
the
show
must
go
on
but
we
are
being
harassed
a
lot," Rawal
told
PTI.
The
association
is
opposing
Maharashtra
government's
rule
which
charges
tax
for
each
vanity
van
at
Rs
5,000
square
meter,
amounting
to
RS
1,25,000
per
annum.
Rawal
said
requirement
of
the
vans
will
be
high
for
films,
specially
in
places
where
there
is
no
make
up
room,
such
as
for
"Sacred
Games".
"Sacred
Games
is
being
shot
in
Dharavi.
They
are
shooting
at
real
locations,
on
the
streets.
There's
no
make
up
room
facility
there
so
how
will
they
be
able
to
shoot?
Naturally
they
would
require
the
vans.
"Karan
Johar's
'Kesari' shoot
is
on
too.
They
are
saying
if
the
vans
don't
come
for
five
days
they'll
incur
losses
of
RS
5
crores,"
he
added.
The
association
said
they
have
communicated
their
decision
to
the
actors
and
are
awaiting
a
response
from
the
government.
"Our
intention
is
not
to
halt
Bollywood
shooting,
we
are
feeling
bad
but
we
are
now
helpless.
It's
our
request,
with
folded
hands,
to
understand
and
cooperate
with
us," he
added.
