Videos from the set of a film in Haridwar are now doing the rounds on social media. While Emran Hashmi was not spotted on the set, it is being said that the shooting was for his film. It remains unknown which movie the actor was shooting for. A dispute allegedly broke out when the locals protested against a signboard used as a prop in the shoot.
