Salman Khan fans can breathe a sigh of relief! Shooting for Mental had come to a standstill for the longest while because of a dispute between the Mumbai stuntmen and those from the South. However, word has it now that shooting has resumed, and Salman refused to give into the demands of the stuntmen.
As per the All India Film Employees Confederation, in the case of Mental, 70% of the stuntmen have to be from the Hindi film industry, and 30% have to be from the South. However, the South stuntmen had insisted that 50% of their men be taken on for this film, and had refused to continue shooting until that happened. This led to a dispute, and finally Salman Khan has cancelled their contracts entirely.
According to TOI, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees president agrees with Salman’s move and has come out in support of the actor.
