Actor Rajan Varma was allegedly assaulted in suburban Goregaon on Thursday by two unidentified men who raised objection to his role of Ajmal Kasab in a film based on the 26/11 attacks, police said.

According to police, Varma was heading for shooting this morning from his residence in Goregaon to a studio in Aarey colony when two unknown persons stopped his vehicle.

"They threatened me not to do the film. Apprehending damger, I immediately rolled up the window pane. I heard a bang as my rear pane was damaged by them," Varma said.

"I do not know who they are. After the incident I immediately rushed to the Malad police station," Varma claimed.
