While shooting at the Matunga Remand Home for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail, inmates misbehaved with the actor and the crew members.
Boys in the remand home between the age of 11 and 15 behaved rowdily when they heard that a film unit was present on the premises. The situation got quite ugly with girls from the unit threatening to leave the shoot mid-way. One boy even took off with some shoot equipment nonchalantly.Neil Nitin Mukesh said to the press, 'I was shocked. The boys at the remand home misbehaved with the unit girls. They were aggressive and rude, almost lewd. My brother is 17-years-old and I consider him a bachcha. But these 14-year-olds spoke in a tone and language that went way beyond their age.'
Things got worse when they realised that Neil was on the sets, they wanted to meet him and when they were denied, they hurled abuses at the crowd. Neil told StarBoxOffice, “Yes, its true, things did get out of hand but when your locked up for days on end and don’t know the right from the wrong, you expect such a thing.”
Neil just got a taste of the real life in Jail. Hope that translates well on screen.
