Shocking! Abhishek held at ransom by journalist

Mumbai: If sources are to be believed, Abhishek Bachchan found himself at the mercy of a journalist on the sets of Ravana.

It so happened that a certain journalist from a prominent news channel trooped along to the sets of the Mani Ratnam film.

Mani is known for his tight security on the sets and the secrecy of his plots. Family members from his cast and crew are not allowed to entertain any guests; needless to say no media person is entertained while the filmmaker is at work either.

So when the scribe came along with his camera crew demanding an exclusive interview with Abhishek Bachchan, the fellow was shown the door.

Miffed, he got his sub-inspector friend along tried to get Abhishek Bachchan out for 'police interrogation'.

Much drama followed and Mani Ratnam too began to get a little jittery.

The filmmaker then had to request the biggies in the news channel to intervene. It was after much effort that the journalist left the sets and the shooting resumed.
