Chandigarh: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) protestors stalled the shoot of Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow's biopic on Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad killing.

VHP activists were upset with the fact that the market at Sector 15 was converted into Lahore for the film, with all shop hoardings in Urdu and autos showing Lahore number plates.

Local traders were protesting against the market being out of bounds for the public for 11 hours. Traders claimed that their prior permission was not taken, and this has led to a loss in business.

Titled 'Zero Dark 30', the film also stars Brad Pitt.
