Pizza 3D team's spooky experience!

The director of the upcoming horror film 'Pizza 3D', Akshay Akkineni, had a special request for his producers. From what a unit member told Mirror, the director cancelled shoots on the 13th of every month, after he narrowly escaped a bulb whch crashed inches away from his head on one such allegedly inauspicious date.
Revealed a source, “Much to the annoyance of producer Bejoy Nambiar, Akshay just wouldn’t agree to shoot on the 13th since he believed it would bring the film bad luck.” However, after a point, Bejoy put his foot down and asked him to carry on with the filming, even if it meant shooting on the unlucky day.But Akshay wouldn't relent until a pooja was performed on the sets to ward off the evil eye."

When contacted, Akshay admitted that he was afraid to shoot on the supposedly unlucky day.
“We were filming a spooky scene in the mental ward of a city hospital on the day. I felt creepy and decided no shoots would happen on the unlucky date after one 13th fell on a Friday," he asserted.
Ask him his reasons and he says, “I believe in spirits. And it's not just me, our entire unit was scared. I had a close shave when a bulb, my production designer had fitted, broke on my head. Why welcome unnecessary trouble?“ So, did he insist on a pooja? “Yes, Bejoy was not happy about it but I felt comfortable after it was done," he says.
When we contacted Bejoy, he said, “Akshay is superstitious. We also had to stall the shoot for a day because he insisted on that pooja. The unit was also apprehsenive as we were shooting a spooky movie."
