Goldie Behl's Drona's has lately been the focus of media attention, thanks but no thanks to reports that the film was an answer to the runaway superhero hit Krrish. Now there's yet another controversy the film seems to have landed itself in.
Apparently, a major schedule of the film in Bikaner had to be cancelled recently, in the wake of the Samjhauta Express blast. The director had sought a permission to shoot along the Bikaner-Jaisalmer railway line.
An action scene had to be shot, but to his dismay, Behl's permission was rejected, resulting in the day's work being cancelled. Abhishek Bachchan, who was to fly back from Mumbai, preferred to stay put in Mumbai. Earlier this month, there were reports that the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) has raised objections to the use of horses in the film in Bikaner without its prior permission. Meanwhile, Shrishti Arya, producer of Drona, refused to comment.
It can be recalled that the unit of Drona has been shooting all over Rajasthan, including the Kuchaman fort. Bachchan, who is said to be playing a superhero, celebrated his birthday in Jaipur while shooting in Bikaner in February .
During the shooting stint, Priyanka Chopra visited the Khwaja Gharib Nawaz dargah in Ajmer to seek blessings.

Fair One Filmfare 2006 By Kkomal Seth & Gautam Seth Fair one Filmfare 2006 was a rocking affair. Bollywood's most sought-after film awards sponsored by Elder Pharmaceuticals leading brand fair one Fairness cream was held on Saturday at Mumbai's plush Yashraj Studio. The fun and excitement quotient, of course, remained the same. The evening belonged indisputably to three films, which divided the honours between them: Rang De Basanti, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's postmodern take on pre-independence revolutionaries, Omkara, Vishal Bhardwaj's dark and hard-hitting adaptation of Othello and Lage Raho Munnabhai, Raj Kumar Hirani's endearing look at Mahatma Gandhi through a gangster's eyes. Anuj Saxena, Director-Marketing Elder Pharma says, "I think awards this time were truly different and magnificent. In my opinion this is the way awards should be held with style and panache. I am quite sure that the super success of this event will pull more people towards it next year". Anuj Saxena presented the award to Kangana Ranaut along with Sony's Kunal Das Gupta for Sony Fair One Face of the year award. Mr. Jagdish Saxena and Sneh Saxena presented the award to Kangana Ranaut for the best debut. Coincidently they presented both these awards to Vidya Balan Last year. While RDB swept up five of the main awards (Best Film, Best Director, Best Music, Best Cinematography and Best Editing) as well as Best Actor (Critics) for Aamir Khan and the R D Burman award, Omkara's tally was a eight and Lage Raho Munnabhai's five. The Best Actor and Best Actress awards went to Hrithik Roshan for Dhoom 2 and Kajol for Fanaa. Through the evening MC Shah Rukh Khan kept the audience in splits with his one-liners and deadpan asides. Samples: "My resolution this year: Main Bachchan saab ki koi bhi film nahin karoonga.' SRK brought the house down, reminding viewers of the laugh-riot he had created with co-host Saif Ali Khan at the Filmfare awards function a few years ago.
