The shooting of Salman Khan's Mental stalled
The shooting of mental has come to screeching halt in Lavasa, the problem with Southern fighters which started over the weekend has now escalated with South fighters walking out of the film leaving the producers high and dry.
The problem started when the southern fighters alleged that they were not adequately represented in comparison to Mumbai artists along with the remuneration paid to them was 50% of what Mumbai fighters, they refused to participate in the shooting bringing shooting to a standstill. The matter was then passed onto the respective associations FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) and FEFSI (Film Employee's Federation of South India) to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
FEFSI president Vijayan and Senior member Shiva flew down to Mumbai to have a meeting with FWICE but now the news is coming that the meeting between the officials has ended without any resolution which has resulted in south fighters walking out of the film. Even an interception by Salman and Sohail to resolve the matter didn't help the issue, which has left them in a sticky situation now, either they have to arrange for fighters from Mumbai on a short notice or postpone the shooting, which will delay the film further.
The walking out of southern artists may also affect relationship between Salman Khan and Vijayan, who is president of FEFSI , as he was supped to do be the action director of the film .
PS. Vijayan's son Sabreesh is playing a negative role in Mental
In other news Actor Mukul Dev has been signed by Sohail Khan to play a negative role in Mental, Mukul Dev has been getting a lot of appreciation lately for his roles in Yamla pagla Deewana and Son of Sardar. It will be interesting to see Mukul in a negative role after seeing him in comedy roles lately.
