"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," Menon tweeted on Sunday.
He said they were not able to "meet the demands of the officials".

Despite the challenges, Menon said he would like to shoot in Turkey.
"Turkey, we are looking forward to film in your beautiful country. If anybody that matters is reading this, please help. Worried for my crew."
