Karan Johar being extra cautious with Agneepath

To keep the paparazzi off the sets of Agneepath, the filmmaker has tripled his security men, adding to the production cost

Knowing that a picture is worth a thousand words, the media including Mumbai Mirror (April 19) had sneaked in and captured the lead actor Hrithik Roshan in midst of a dahi handi sequence on the sets of Karan Johar's remake of Agneepath.

And this has worried KJo no end. Being extra cautious about the look and feel of this much ambitious project, the filmmaker has come up with an idea. He has increased the number of security personnel on the sets to ensure that such a leak doesn't happen again.

In fact, if you were planning to infiltrate and catch a glimpse of the new age Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, you now have to go through thirty big men, the extra bouncers, who, have naturally added a few more lakh to the production cost.

KJo has even instructed his brand new bouncers to keep people from clicking pictures on the sets from their phone cameras.

A source close to the unit revealed, "Well, we had ten guards on the sets before. We now have thirty. So about twenty new guards have come in. And they are all from a professional group."

"Karan is a marketing genius. You can call him a methodical planner. He likes to market all his films in planned phases.

So, he was upset when the media leaked out the pictures of his dahi handi shoot.

It should not have happened. But it's okay. Jo ho gaya so ho gaya. Ab aage aisa nahin hona chahiye," added the source.

Karan Johar remained unavailable for comment.
