Loo and behold, Munnabhai flush-es

Mumbai: There was a comedy, and there were toilets. But any humour was purely unintentional.

A film crew shooting for the soon-to-be released Lage Raho Munnabhai ran into trouble when filming in a snazzy blue and white tiled restroom in a popular suburban mall.

The problem: automatically flushing urinals.

Every time stars Sanjay Dutt or Arshad Warsi completed their shot and walked past a urinal, it would flush, interrupting the shoot.

"At one point, with so many unit members inside the loo, all the flush sensors went berserk and started flushing simultaneously!" recalled director Raj Kumar Hirani.

"We actually had to vacate the loo briefly to stop the urinals from flushing," Hirani added.

In the film, Sanjay plays a Mumbai gangster who is helped by his friend, Arshad, in his romantic pursuit of a woman.
