A source informed the publication that they actors have been the ones driving themselves to the location until they left last Sunday hoping it was the usual place of shoot till the unexpected happened when the director, Don Single called to inform them of location swap.
"With the whole intention that they will locate the current place of shoot, the director later called to inform them of some changes with location they had. Some minutes later, the crew got a call from the former host community that the two actors nearly got abducted by some unknown persons."
