A film unit from Bengaluru engaged in shooting on the Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion premises at Manasagangotri campus was evicted and the vehicles seized after intervention by heritage activists and morning walkers, on Thursday.
While the heritage building awaiting conservation was marred by dumping of large mound of mud, three sandalwood trees were also felled by the film crew.
The crew from Harshita Movies, Bengaluru, had secured permission from the University of Mysore which had stipulated 19 conditions and levied a fee of ₹4.35 lakh including ₹1.05 lakh as refundable advance.
