India, April 9 -- Police in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district were left puzzled after seizing a stash of fake Rs.500 currency notes marked "for movie shooting purpose only" from a rented house in Dandeli.

The counterfeit notes bore the label "Reverse Bank of India", a spoof on the official "Reserve Bank of India," news agency PTI reported.

According to the report, the discovery was made on Tuesday following a tip-off. Acting on the information, police raided a house in Gandhinagar locality of Dandeli and recovered the fake notes along with a money-counting machine.
