Locals informed that the unit was not seen in the vicinity of the temple of Friday, however, it was learned that shooting was going on in other parts of Jaipur.Ad filmmakers in the month of April this year had to abort shooting after a group of activists and locals protested against the use of signage and hoardings with names of Pakistani cities, some of them written in the Urdu language.

The crew had the permission to shoot in the city. But activists of ‘Dharohar Bachao Samiti’ pulled down the banners and signage with Welcome to Lahore, Karachi Sweets, Rawalpindi Chaiwala and other street fixtures fashioned to depict a Pakistani city in Jaipur, claiming the said unit didn’t spare temples inside Walled City to recreate Lahore.
