The singer-composer-actor isn’t interested in doing intimate scenes with his heroines in films.
Himesh Reshammiya seems to have set rules for himself – rules that he wants to stick to while charting out an acting career for himself in Bollywood. One such rule is apparently not to do lovemaking scenes in films.
However, in Mahesh Bhatt’s next presentation Kajra Re , the script required Himesh (the film’s lead actor) to do a bed scene with his female co-star. The film, a period drama, has Himesh playing a lawyer who falls in love with a beautiful girl in Morocco. But she disappears mysteriously. After a long search, he tracks the girl to the red-light area, Hiramandi, in Pakistan.
The narrative required a lovemaking scene between Himesh and his heroine after he finds her again in Pakistan.
But after reading the script, Himesh was adamant on deleting the scene altogether.
Scriptwriter Shagufta Rafique did not agree with Himesh’s point of view and asserted that the scene follows the natural progression of the narrative.
However, Mahesh Bhatt agreed with Himesh. Bhatt thinks deleting the scene will strike a chord among the masses.
The film will be made by Pooja Bhatt . Its shooting is yet to begin.
