Artistes and crew members of the Kannada film Seema miraculously escaped harm in New York on Tuesday September 11.

They were at the World Trade Centre in Manhattan to shoot for the film, two hours before both towers crumbled down after two planes crashed into them in what is now being called a terrorist attack.

Sources said the shoot commenced at 6.30 am and continued till 7 am, local time.

Two hours later, the planes crashed into the 110-storied building.

The film, which was shot at the Centre the previous evening too, is Hubli-born producer-director Shyamsunder's maiden venture. It stars newcomers Meetu, Kiran Gowda, Praveen, Sudheer Reddy and M D Kaushik. An industry official said Shyamsunder has been living in the US for the last two-and-a-half decades.
