The crew of an upcoming Malayalam film had some anxious moments after a bullet-like article was detected in the check-in baggage of one of their members at the Cochin International Airport on Friday.
The crew of the film Unda was headed to Hyderabad when the incident took place during the screening of the baggage and the airline staff alerted the police.
“The bullet-shaped article made of brass was bigger than a real bullet. Our arms expert confirmed that the prop used in films cannot be inserted into the chamber of any firearm,” said T. Manoharan, Inspector, Nedumbassery Police.
