Emraan
Hashmi,
recently
played
a
prank
on
his
leading
lady,
Nisha
Kothari,
while
shooting
for
Killer.
He
told
the
directors
Raksha
Mistry
and
Hasnain
Hyderabadwala
to
tell
Nisha
that
they'd
added
a
kissing
scene
between
her
and
Emraan
to
a
scene.
A nervous Nisha puckered up and waited and waited, but the kiss didn't come. Instead everyone around her cracked up. Read on to find out how this prank played out...
Says Raksha, "Emraan has the reputation of being a serial kisser so when we approached Nisha for the film initially, she was very scared and said she wouldn't do any kissing scenes with him. While we were shooting for a song and some action scenes in Film City recently with Emraan and Nisha, Emi came and told us that we should play a prank on Nisha."
Nisha
was
stunned
So
the
actor
and
the
director
duo
decided
the
plot
for
their
plan,
"The
scene
required
a
bullet
to
whiz
towards
Nisha,
and
Emraan
grabs
her
and
rolls
to
the
ground.
Emi
told
us
to
tell
Nisha
that
after
he
rolls
to
the
ground
and
Nisha
turns
towards
him,
he
would
then
grab
her
and
plant
a
kiss.
Nisha
was
scared
when
we
told
her,
but
she
didn't
say
anything.
The shot happened and Nisha rolled over and waited and waited for the kiss... but it didn't happen! She looked stunned and couldn't figure out what happened. Finally, she realised the joke was on her when all of us burst out laughing. We have decided to keep that stunned look in the film. It's beautiful!"
Ice-breaker
Emraan Hashmi is shooting in London now for Aditya Datt's next film, when we contacted him. He says, "The prank was a way of breaking the ice between Nisha and me. Nisha seemed a bit apprehensive of my kissing image and used to look at me like this monster has come on the sets. She had shot for five days before me and then I came in.
I had never met her before that. But when she looked at me, I knew what she was thinking. Earlier, she had made some comment about me and my kissing image, so I decided to play a prank on her. As the scene grew nearer, Nisha got more perturbed. But when I didn't kiss her, she didn't know what to do."
Other than that there is a debate raging on the sets of Killer, whether Emraan should kiss in the film or not. Given Emraan's new "I don't want to kiss stand," would the actor refuse if the directors asked him to kiss? "No, it's their decision as a creative team. If they ask me to run naked, I have to! I have to be clear about what they want."
Says Nisha Kothari, who is shooting for Ram Gopal Varma's Shiva in Bangkok, "When I started the film, the only thing I asked my directors, was if there would be a kissing scene, and they said no.
Then, when suddenly during shooting, they told me about the kissing scene with Emraan. I was extremely apprehensive till I found out they were playing a prank. I was so relieved!"
