Actor Aamir Khan’s production house issued a statement on Tuesday, dismissing claims that the crew of its upcoming movie, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ had polluted a shooting location in Ladakh.

A Twitter user named Jigmat Ladakhi shared video clips from Wakha village, Ladakh, alleging that the crew had shot a sequence at the place but left without cleaning the area. The clips showed used water bottles scattered across the location.

“This is the gift Bollywood star Amir Khan’s upcoming movie Lal Singh Chada has left for the villagers of Wakha in Ladakh,” he wrote. 

He added, “Amir Khan himself talks big about environmental cleanliness at Satyamev Jayate but this is what happens when it comes to himself.”

The tweet soon went viral, with people criticising the movie’s crew. 

On Tuesday, Aamir Khan Productions issued a statement denying the allegation and wrote that the filming locations are open to being verified by the authorities.

“We believe that there are some rumours/allegations about our location not being kept clean. We strongly deny such claims. Our location is always open to relevant local authorities to carry out checks anytime that they like,” the statement shared on its official Twitter handle said.

The production house also stressed that its team follows “strict protocols” for cleanliness in and around the shooting spaces.

“We have a team which makes sure that the location is kept trash-free at all times. At the end of the day there is a re-check of the entire location.

“At the end of the entire schedule, we make sure that when we leave a location we leave it as clean, or cleaner than we found it,” the statement read.

‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ is the official Hindi remake of Tom Hanks’ 1994 blockbuster ‘Forrest Gump’ and also stars Kareen Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya.
