Recently when Ajay Devgan asked Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation for fire engines to shoot a crucial rain sequence for his directorial debut, U Me Aur Hum, he was turned down on the grounds that they are meant for putting out fires, not for film shoots.

Kiran Kadam, chief fire brigade officer says, “Devgan did come to us and wanted these fire engines for shooting. However, we maintain that these machines are used only to put out fires in the city and not for any other purpose.”

The story goes that Devgan had attempted filming the sequence using water tankers. But he was not too happy with the results as the machines were not powerful enough and did not give the desired effect.

A reliable source from the production company says, We have shot the sequence with water tankers. But Ajay was quite unhappy with the way the scene looked on screen and he later scrapped it.

The perfectionist that he is, Ajay then approached the fire brigade department for a few fire engines.

Another source adds, “The fire brigade department was taken aback at our request. After much dilly-dallying they said that they cannot give out the machines for a film shoot.”

Devgan had to make do with artificial showers to complete the vital sequence featuring Devgan and wife Kajol.
