It's chilly but things have warmed up for Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his "Black" unit in the hill resort town of Shimla.

Local reporters were a bit too hasty in concluding that the unit had been denied permission by authorities to shoot at a prestigious library in the Himachal Pradesh capital.

True or false? Actually both! Initially permission had been denied and Sanjay planned to shoot with Amitabh Bachchan in Pune.

But just when the entire unit was ready to fly back to Mumbai, the magical governmental green signal was granted. Rani Mukherjee, who had flown back to Mumbai, returned to Shimla.

With the Shimla schedule, the shooting of "Black" is nearly over.
