Trouble in the jungle

Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao is witnessing all the wrong kind of drama. First, a transformer burst in the Malaysian forest where the show is being shot, nearly killing some crew members, and then a team boat capsized, sparking off talk that the project is jinxed.
Some crew members believe that these incidents have occurred because of the presence of evil spirits and are reportedly going to hold an elaborate puja to ward them off. A source says, “There are over 300 people from 13 different countries associated with the project, and the jungle is not treating them well. One day, a wild boar chased the production guys and, another time, we spotted a python relaxing outside one of our executive’s rooms. Then there was a huge transformer blast with fire, smoke and sparks.” A crew member says, “The part of the forest that is being used for the show is an ancient Aboriginal graveyard. It is very scary and we are planning a puja to get rid of the bad spirits.”

Danish Khan, marketing head of Sony Entertainment Television, says, “There is a lot of money riding on the sets there, so we can’t stop the shoot. Most of the crew has been hired from outside, and they are not panicking about any evil spirits. Shooting will go on.”
