The
TNSCB
(Tamil
Nadu
Slum
Clearance
Board)
tenants
of
Chennai's
Rani
Anna
Nagar
are
highly
agitated
with
the
latest
development
in
their
area
caused
by
a
film
crew.
According
to
the
latest
Times
of
India
report,
a
film
crew
showed
up
at
the
complex
on
July
25
along
with
a
local
thug
and
prevented
people
from
getting
into
the
premises.
As
per
Kasinathan,
President
of
the
residents'
welfare
association,
upon
asking
permission
letter
to
shoot
one
of
the
crew
members
of
the
film
brought
a
local
thug,
who
claimed
to
be
closely
connected
to
a
political
party.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"They
came
in
a
group
of
15
and
cordoned
off
exit
gates
and
other
points.
They
had
no
permission
from
the
authorities
and
when
we
asked
them
for
it
they
began
fighting
with
us.
The
argument
escalated
but
they
didn't
bother
and
continued
their
work."
Throwing
light
over
the
dilemma
caused,
the
association's
secretary
shared
that
even
the
water
tankers
could
not
enter
the
complex
until
the
crew
was
done
with
their
shoots.
TOI
quoted
him
as
saying,
"We
cannot
even
walk
out,
water
tankers
cannot
come
in
until
they
complete.
Many
a
time
such
crews
bring
in
thugs
affiliated
to
political
parties
to
ensure
we
don't
question."
Further,
the
report
suggests
that
the
President
along
with
other
members
of
the
association
have
now
filed
a
case
with
the
KK
Nagar
police,
and
even
submitted
a
letter
from
TNSCB
that
prohibits
shootings
inside
their
complex
area.
Apparently,
permission
from
the
board
is
required
to
shoot
in
a
tenement
colony.
