After an earlier face off with the locals as well as the tourists, the unit of Shoojit Sircar's SHOEBITE got into more confrontations yesterday. As per Shimla based sources, during the shooting of the film in the Willowbank Bakery on Friday, the unit members blocked the Mall Road and did not allow even the senior citizens and womenfolk to proceed to the High Court for their essential work. They even jostled with the tourists.

As may be recalled, on a previous occasion, megastar Amitabh Bachchan's bouncers had acted tough with some Delhi tourists and smashed their cameras for taking the pictures of the shoot. The makers had then promised not to create any more hindrances or get into further controversies.

After the local law enforcing agencies stepped in, the production team had to apologise and only then the shooting was allowed to continue.
