PANAJI
Lokhancho Ekvott Goa has demanded a written apology from Karan Johar and his company Dharma Productions for littering the roads in the picturesque Goan beach village of Nerul about 10 kms from the capital city of Panaji.
The Lokhancho Ekvott spokesperson said they would move the Bombay High Court bench at Goa against Dharma Productions for breaking the laws of the land and not even attempting to make amends, days after locals raised a hue and cry about the stinking and rotting garbage and other unsegregated waste, dumped by the production house.
The demand came even as the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) issued a notice to the line producer of the Mumbai-based film production company Dharma Productions, owned by Karan Johar, following reports that a lot of waste generated by the film crew, including personal protective equipment (PPE), was not cleared from the picturesque village of Nerul after shooting was completed earlier this month.
Photos of a swathe of land covered in plastic and other waste in the village did the rounds on social media platforms after shooting wrapped up more than a week ago. The PPE and other protective gear had been dumped in garbage bags, near a public waste bin at the beach village of Nerul in North Goa, after the film shooting schedule earlier this week, starring Deepika Padukone and directed by Shakun Batra.
