The makers of the movie Sheesha couldn’t find a place in it for an item number shot on Neha Dhupia . So it was tucked right at the end of the film.
Movie’s producer Guddu Dhanoa describes the song as a bonus gift to the audience, but its actress Neha Dhupia believes the inclusion of the song is a mistake.
“The item song was a mistake. When I dubbed for the film it wasn't part of the final cut. There was a dispute about where the item song should go. So we decided not to use it at all,” Dhupia told a news agency.
Neha said she had asked the makers of the film to remove the song, but she was shocked to see it in the film’s premiere.
The song has now been removed from some prints, but the wild-and-sweaty number is still available to audiences in non-multiplex theatres outside Mumbai and Delhi.
Expressing her disappointment, Neha shrugged: "What's done is done. I can't be fighting over a song. The film's producers are under so much pressure. I don't want to create a fuss. But it's weird because in the climax one of my two characters is dead. So who is dancing?"
