Some Kannada activists on Tuesday barged into the Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel on the foothills of the Chamundi where a Tamil film shooting was under way.
The film crew arrived here on Monday to shoot for Shivalinga .
The hotel rooms had been booked by the film crew for five days and booking had been done months ago, according to a representative from the hotel management.
Despite resistance from the hotel security, the activists managed to barge inside and allegedly tried to burn a black cloth at the reception counter demanding halting of the shooting.
Bid foiled
But their bid was foiled by the hotel staff. A police team reached the spot and detained a few of them. The film crew, however, stopped the shooting following the incident, according to a hotel staff. A team from Chamundi commando force had been stationed outside the hotel as a precautionary measure.
