All hell broke loose when one of the crew members reportedly shouted at a woman who was there with her child. This infuriated the crowd at the spot and the situation got tense, bringing the shoot to a halt for over two hours. The shoot went haywire as crowd got into a war of words with the crew and also demanded that Basu and his crew members apologize before they would be allowed to resume shooting. Director Anurag Basu felt that there was some kind of miscommunication which led to this fiasco. Fortunately, the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM), an organisation working towards a separate Gorkha land, stepped in to help ease the tension. Eventually, the crowd dispersed and shooting resumed.
As they say, all's well that ends well!

The shoot of Barfee was recently brought to a halt in the wee hours of morning by the angry crowd at Darjeeling when they were shooting at a mall. A few students on their way to school were passing the shooting site along with their parents and the shoot was getting interrupted as the kids were coming into the frame. The crew members allegedly started shouting at the crowd to clear the area and continue shooting uninterruptedly.
Priyanka Chopra plays the role of a mentally challenged girl. To get her act right, reports have it that she has even met many people suffering from the mental condition. Her scenes are being shot with utmost privacy, since she is very nervous about this role and wants to get it absolutely right. On the other hand, Ileana will be seen playing a 19-year-old to a 30 year old to a 65 year-old! So much in a debut film...
Ranbir will be essaying the role of a happy-go-lucky deaf-mute character in the film. Even though Ranbir won't speak in the film, he will not be entirely mute. As director Anurag Basu points out that mute people are not entirely quiet, they make sounds in place of using proper words and these sounds convey the entire emotional verbal impact of their thought processes. Ranbir's character in the movie has been inspired from Charlie Chaplin and Rowan Atkinson. His character's name is Murphy but being mute he mumbles it as 'Barfee'.
Ranbir Kapoor will be sporting three different looks in this film. Here, Ranbir is seen wearing a cap and an argyle pattern sleeveless vest over a shirt. His clean shaven look for this scene does make him look young and innocent. Ileana D'Cruz is seen wearing a blue high-waist skirt with brown boots. Some combo that is!
