A month ago, Filmmaker Sajid Khan announced his magnum opus film 'Himmatwala', a remake of the classic retro hit with the same name.

Within days of his announcement, he began shooting for the film in Hyderabad with his lead stars - Ajay Devgn and south actress Tamannaah Bhatia.

Though the shooting has been taking place at a steady pace so far, it recently has hit the bumper block as the majority of the cast and crew have caught up infection and have fallen ill.

It started with Ajay, when he began to feel uneasy. But he continued shooting in order to not interrupt the schedule. But later many members from the crew too started falling ill due to which Sajid had to call off the shooting completely.

The team discovered that the water they were drinking on the sets was contaminated, which affected their health and had a spiral effect on the crew.

However, Ajay has now suggested that when the shooting resumes, only bottled water will be consumed by all.
