FIFA World Cup fever grips Pollywood singers
Chandigarh, June 16 On Monday morning, trainees at Football Stadium, Sector 17, were surprised to see pretty girls and Punjabi singers, wearing soccer kits, coming to ground for shooting a song. Although as per rules, the playing ground of the UT Sports Department can be used for shooting after practice hours, the shooting of this song was filmed within the practice hours. To shoot sequences the director kept half side of the ground occupied. The set including lights and reflectors were installed at the time of practice hours. Notably, it’s for the first time that shooting of any song took place at the Football Stadium, Sector 17. The person-in-charge for allotting bookings couldn’t be contacted. However, officials of Sports Department maintained that the permission was given to shoot for particular hours. “The set was installed during the practice hours and the bouncers were deployed to stop outsiders from entering the stadium. However, we were allowed to use the ground, only the half-side,” said a player. “The song demanded a soccer background, so we have opted for this place. Soccer world cup is already being played and hopefully shooting at a football stadium will add flavor to the song. We haven’t disturbed player’s practice hours however the set needed to install on time to carry out rehearsals,” said one of the crew members.
