Mumbai: There have been many Hindi films based on terrorism like ‘Mission Kashmir’, ‘Fiza’ and Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.
Actors often don the get-up of a stereotypical terrorist as portrayed in movies. Recently in Maharashtra, two such actors, in the usual get-up, landed in trouble as suspecting bystanders confused them for real terrorists and informed the police.
Mumbai Police launched a search operation after they received the information about the presence of two terrorists in the Palghar district. The entire district was alerted before the operation began.
The police caught the two ‘terrorists’ but had to face embarrassment after realizing that the pair was in fact film actors.
They were identified as Balram Ginwala, 23, and Arbaaz Khan, 20, as per media reports. Their bombers-like outfits created panic among people as a result of which the police was notified.
In fact, the production unit in-charge confirmed that the two were working for a film.
