No Smoking behind the camera!

‘No Smoking’, the movie with an anti-smoking message, is reforming the smokers on the film’s sets also.

While a non-smoker like John Abraham has to smoke before the camera, it is quite the opposite for some regular smokers behind the camera on the sets of producer Kumar Mangat’s movie No Smoking .

Mangat has reportedly gotten strict with the film’s crew to keep them from smoking on the sets because the whole purpose of the film is to give an anti-smoking message. The producer has begun fining anyone who is caught smoking on the sets. And the fine is also hefty : Rs 500.

This strict code does not spare even the movie’s director Anurag Kashyap who is a regular smoker. Whenever Anurag is caught smoking a cigarette he has to shell out Rs. 500.

Moreover, lest anyone smoke on the sly, Mangat has reportedly hired a cameraman to photograph those who try to smoke stealthily.

Actor Ranvir Shorey , too, has been fined by the producer.

And if any unitmember refuses to pay the fine, Kumar tells him the amount will be deducted from their remuneration.

The producer is said to have raised more than one lakh rupees from the fines so far.

John, who gets to smoke a lot in the movie, has not been fined even once because he does not smoke in real life.

The film tells the story of a chain smoker who joins a rehabilitation centre after his marriage comes to the point of falling apart because of his compulsive habit. The movie has Ayesha Takia pairing with John.
