The society members of Dheeraj Solitaire Building in Malad disrupted the photo shoot of Ram Gopal Varma's Not A Love Story (starring Mahie Gill, Deepak Dobriyal and Ajay Gehi) at one of their flats on Saturday.
For those who don't know, this is the same building where Maria Susairaj (on whose life the film is based) lived and allegedly murdered Neeraj Grover in 2008.
Apparently, the entire cast and crew of the film was asked to leave the venue in the middle of their shoot by the building members.
A source from the building informs, "The building authorities allowed RGV to shoot the entire movie at one of the flats in the building, but strangely, stopped the crew to do a photo shoot for four hours on Saturday."
Subhash Dhankar, Maria's broker, who also helped the crew get the permission to use the building premises, divulges the reason for the society's strange behavior.
"Yes, the society created an issue over the photo shoot. It was a four-hour shoot. We had done the set up. The entire cast including Mahie, Deepak and Ajay, the photographer and the makeup artists were present."
It is all about money
"The society authorities barged in and told us to leave the premises immediately. I tried to make them understand, but they weren't willing to budge. They wanted more money from the producer. The entire day got wasted. They couldn't even postpone the shoot because Mahie's relative is unwell and she couldn't be there the next day.
A studio was immediately booked and the shoot was completed, " he further added
Remorseless Maria
Interestingly, Subhash, who does a cameo as a police inspector in the film, had met Maria just after she committed the crime and also, got her house painted again.
"I met Maria after she had killed Neeraj and wasn't yet caught. When I later found out that she has done the crime I was amazed to see that there was no sign of fear or remorse on her face."
