This Rs 100-crore Bollywood film had a murderer in its crew, he worked with Akshay Kumar, director never knew until...

Filmmaker Neeraj Pandey, who is gearing up for his upcoming film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, has revealed that the crew of his film Special 26 starring Akshay Kumar had a murderer. The director said that the team didn't know about it until the cops picked him up before the release of the film.

Neeraj engaged in an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Reddit ahead of the release of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha. Starting off his AMA with a video message, he said, “Hi, I am Neeraj Pandey, an Indian film director, producer, and screenwriter. I am excited to answer your questions about all the on-screen, behind-the-scenes stories and my latest project, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha on this Reddit AMA. Let's do it.”

In response to a query about the craziest thing that has ever happened on the sets of his films, the director revealed the fact. Neeraj wrote: “We had a murderer in our crew when we were shooting for Special 26 and we didn't know until the police picked him up before the release of the film.” Special 26 also starred Kajal Aggarwal, Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Divya Dutta. The film, which released in 2013, grossed over Rs 100 crore worldwide.

Meanwhile, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, featuring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Jimmy Shergill, Shantanu Maheshwari, and Saiee Manjrekar, is scheduled for theatrical release. However, on Tuesday, the makers confirmed that the film’s release is being pushed back. Reports suggest that the postponement is because of the box-office success of Kalki 2898 AD. According to the reports, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha could hit screens in the second half of July or early August.
