Filmmaker Kaizad Gustad's jeep was stopped and robbed at gunpoint 120 km outside Guwahati.

Gustad's jeep was carrying equipment and money for a documentary that he is making on the 20-day, eight-country, 8,000-km India-ASEAN car rally that kicked off Monday.

"I lost some money and some mobile phones," tells Gustad. "It's amazing how we travelled all the way from Mumbai and just before entering Assam we were robbed."

Gustad has brought an international team to make the film. His four core team members are Canadians.

The filmmaker, arrested earlier this year in connection with the death of his 27-year-old Pakistani-British assistant director Nadia Khan, is presently out on bail. Nadia Khan had died after being hit by a suburban train during the shooting of Gustad's film "Mumbai Central".
