Filmmaker Pooja Bhatt has come under attack by the National Students' Union Of India (NSUI), who she accused of disrupting her ongoing film shoot in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

‘50-75 ppl claiming to be from NSUI have barged into Central Jail Udaipur shouting slogans against me threatening to shut down my shoot. If I were alone I would tackle them HEADON! But I happen to have a unit of 100 I am responsible for equipment as well,’ Bhatt tweeted.

‘I am being made a scapegoat by warring political parties who's clamour for power is inducing this goon like behaviour! I salute the Central Jail authorities, especially DR. Joshi & his constables for dealing with the MOB & ensuring they were thrown swiftly!’ she added.

Actress Richa Chaddha, who’s acting in the film Bad, supported Bhatt and wrote: ‘I don't carry my phone to the set, while working. 3 days ago, I really wish I had... Because if even one of us could've recorded the obnoxious, uncouth, abusive behavior of the SP in Udaipur, n the way he pushed around the crew. Our producer @PoojaB1972 would not be receiving the unnecessary flak she is, for taking a moral stand and fighting against injustice! But the show must go on...and may I proudly add, it is!’

The film is a biopic on Charles Shobraj and also stars Randeep Hooda.
