Photographers have been mobbing the sets of Latin model Sofia Vergara's new Canadian movie, so much so director John Singleton has had to step up security to paparazzi at bay.

The cameramen allegedly want to get a shot of Vergara with her supposed new love Tom Cruise, after rumours surfaced of them having been dating for the past few months, reported the Internet Media Database.

But even if the rumours are true, the two have remained elusive and have avoided the paparazzi very successfully.

So photographers from around the world have flocked to Toronto, where Vergara is starring alongside Tyrese Gibson in director John Singleton's "Four Brothers" - hoping to catch Cruise visiting his new 'girlfriend'.

"Seven different paparazzi had to be thrown off the set," a source was quoted as saying.
