The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has said that movies should not be shot on the busy Church Street as it will affect traffic flow in the centrally located area. Church Street is also a major attraction in Bengaluru for party goers and shoppers, especially during the weekend.
The BBMP’s decree came after it noticed a movie being shot on the street on Sunday. The movie was allegedly being shot without obtaining relevant permission.
However, a crewman of the malayalam film said that the team had obtained permission from the police. But DCP, Central, Shekar H. Tekkanavar said he had not given permission for the film shooting and they may have taken it from the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce. (KFCC). On the other hand, N.M. Suresh, KFCC president, said: “We have not given any permission and we do not have any authority to give permission. It’s a State subject.”
