The High Court ordered that the set of Aarakshan was an illegal structure and so it had to be demolished. The local authorities demolished Prakash Jha's set and left the schedule hanging in the air. Deepika and Saif's scheduled scenes could not be shot due to this event.
Prakash Jha Productions took the land on lease from Minal Residency Group but did not know that it was a disputed property. The shooting took place from Jan till March on the structure which included a bangalow that belongs to Amitabh Bachchan's character in the film. For the moment, there is nothing left of the structure.
Anyway, although Prakash Jha said that it is causing them a few delays and new arrangements will be made but he said those were temporary structures and everybody in Bhopal knew they were sets . They would have demolished them as it is after a month so there was need to destroy everything now.
