Filmmaker Hansal Mehta stated that his team secured all required permits from police and sports departments for the Ranveer Singh-starrer 'Pralay' shoot at Azad Maidan.
The Mumbai Cricket Association had raised objections, claiming the six-hour commercial shoot forced the postponement of inter-school cricket matches.
Mehta criticized Mumbai as unfriendly for film crews due to complex multi-department clearances and bureaucratic obstructions.
