Gautham Menon, who is in Europe to shoot for his spy thriller 'Dhruva Natchathiram', raised an SOS on Twitter and Facebook when he and his team got stranded at the border of Turkey for more than 24 hours!

"My film crew, stuck at Turkey border. On the road. More than 24 hours now. Officials not letting us in with equipment in spite of legit papers. Crew traveling from Georgia to Istanbul by road. Carrying camera and costumes.Stuck now!" Gautham tweeted out.

The reason is bureaucratic red-tape (probably). "Unable to meet officials demands. Turkey, we are looking forward to filming in your beautiful country," the director said.

He finally made an appeal for help. "If anybody that matters is reading this, please HELP. Worried for my crew," Gautham wrote.

The film stars Vikram, Ritu Varma and Aishwarya Rajesh in lead roles.
