Ever wondered what it must be like to shoot a film in the middle of crores of people? Ask actor Abhishek Banerjee, who wrapped up the shoot for Maha Sangam at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj (UP) last month, and he says it was a "blessed experience".

"It was a rare experience for the entire crew, as no one had done anything like this before. As actors, we are used to silence and isolation on the set," the Stree (2018) actor says, adding, "Par yahan hum log shor ke saath acting kar rahe the. I feel there was a divine intervention. We did the shoot without any VIP culture — ek aam aadmi ki tarah."
