A 'manhandled photographer' and 'Ranbir Kapoor' almost seem like synonymous terms these days. It wasn't long back that the actor snatched a reporter's video camera, leaving a harrassed man in his trail.
And while the recent incident may have nothing to do with the actor himself, he's involved purely by virtue of the fact that it occurred during the shooting of Bombay Velvet that stars the actor himself.
A leading daily claims that a photographer from a city newspaper has filed a police complaint alleging that the bodyguards on duty on the sets of Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet manhandled him while he was on assignment.
The report further claims that onlookers saw the 'assault' take place after the photographer apparently took pictures of Ranbir's new look - something the Bombay Velvet team is keen on keeping under wraps.
The photographer's equipment was reportedly forcibly taken away from him and he was asked to delete those pictures. The man in question was apparently too busy to comment on this, reports the daily, since he was out getting a medical check-up.
Meanwhile on the flipside
The film's producer Madhu Mantena has reportedly claimed otherwise, pointing out that the photographer didn't seek prior permission, and security was alerted only after he started taking pictures. They eventually took him to the police station, adds the report.
But there's more. Outside the police station, the photographer reportedly slapped one of the security staff's members and made a run for it. It was only later, after he feared legal action, that the photographer reportedly returned to make an official complaint with the police hoping the scales would tip in his favour.
Anurag Kashyap, the film's director claims anything other than their account is false.
