Although the shooting has been on for one week, the information was kept under wraps.
"We didn't want too much attention while shooting for the film. . . so it was done guerrilla style and not too many people knew about it, " a source from the unit told.
The film is an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's classic novel "Tess of d'Urbervilles". It is being directed by Michel Winterbottom and co-produced by Anurag Kashyap, Guneet Monga and Sunil Bohra.
"Trishna" has been shot in different parts of Rajasthan while some scenes have been shot in Mumbai.
