Kolkata:

Bollywood filmmaker Kushan Nandy has scrapped the filming of Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, in West Bengal following problems with technicians from the state.

Kushan Nandy, who was shooting in Burdwan and Bolpur districts last week, returned to Mumbai on Wednesday in the aftermath of hurdles regarding hiring of local technicians.

According to reports, misunderstandings brewed up between the production team and the Federation of Cine Technicians and Workers of Eastern India over payment of dues and dealing with more number of technicians than what was actually needed.

The incident comes at a time when top filmmakers from Mumbai like Shoojit Sircar, Dibakar Banerjee, Sujoy Ghosh and Imtiaz Ali have chosen Bengal as one of the shooting spots for their forthcoming flicks.

Moreover, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been pitching Bengal as a good shooting destination for Bollywood and Hollywood projects.

Sujoy Ghosh, whose Kahaani became synonymous with Kolkata, had recently appreciated the fact that more and more Hindi films are being shot in the state.

Earlier, Bikash Ranjan Mishra (Chauranga) and Mrityunjay Devvrat (Children of War) withdrew their film units from the state.


Bikash Mishra has sympathised with Kushan Nandy over the incident on Twitter.
