Delhi based debutant director Syed Ahmad Afzal, who will be directing his first film 'Youngistaan' with actor Jackky Bhagnani in the lead, was in Lucknow on Monday to scout for locations to shoot his film. All was going well for Afzal, who is Peepli [Live] director Anusha Rizvi’s cousin, while on his reccee in Lucknow, when all of a sudden he realised he had lost his bag which had important papers and all his belongings in it.
The young director panicked and tried to recall where he could have left his bag. Having been to several places in the city including Cantt, Rai Umanath Bali Auditorium, Jehangirabad Palace and also Indira Gandi Pratishthan, Afzal couldn’t remember where he had last seen his bag.
A frantic search for the bag began with Afzal’s team going back to all the places they had been to, to look for the missing bag. Finally, to everyone’s relief, the bag was found at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan.
While all ended well for the director, he is still to confirm whether he will be coming to shoot his film here in the city. Actor Jackky Bhagnani didn’t reply to our messages.
