Last week, a Twitter user shared video clips from Wakha village, Ladakh, alleging that the crew of the 56-year-old actor's film had shot a sequence at the place but left without cleaning the area afterward. The video showed used water bottles scattered across the location, which the user claimed was the filming area.

The production house stressed that its team follows "strict protocols" for cleanliness in and around the shooting spaces. "We have a team which makes sure that the location is kept trash-free at all times. At the end of the day there is a re-check of the entire location. "At the end of the entire schedule, we make sure that when we leave a location we leave it as clean, or cleaner than we found it," the statement read.
Also starring Kareen Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya, Laal Singh Chaddha is the official Hindi remake of Tom Hanks' 1994 blockbuster Forrest Gump.
