The Rangoon trailer has been widely appreciated by all and sundry. But what caught everyone’s attention is the brilliantly shot mud scene where Kangana Ranaut’s Julia and Shahid Kapoor’s Nawab Malik can be seen making love to each other. But in real-life, Shahid and Kanaga have been at loggerheads for a long time now. they have left no stone unturned to take jibes at each other! While Kangana had made some shocking revelations about the scene and indirectly slammed Shahid, the actor had maintained his dignified silence.
Kangana had said,
“I don’t like intimate scenes in a film. They are the most difficult to shoot. You have a formal equation with someone and suddenly you are into each other’s mouth. That big moustache of Shahid is horrible. It was such a … Not a turn-off but a tragedy of different level! When I asked him about it, he said he applies wax and has a running nose! Mera naak isme bah ke jaata hai.”
Later, when asked for his comments on Kangana’s statements, Shahid Kapoor said,
“I have to tell you that Kangana makes up things in her head. She has a vivid imagination. I don’t remember telling her all this at all.”
Shahid heard all that Kangana said and then, when we quizzed him about the same, he simply said (rather, JOKED),
“Shooting in the mud was the most difficult thing to do in the entire film. Upar se, it was a lovemaking scene where we had to kiss and make out. Our clothes would become so heavy because of the mud smeared all over us that it was simply disgusting. I would recommend others to never try this.”
But he soon added that the scene took a toll on his health.
“Honestly, we had to shoot for 3-4 days in total to finish the scene and by the time, I was done with it, I had already fallen so sick. I could not shoot for 10 days after that because my health had deteriorated because of the entire scene. But Vishal sir had a vision and you guys will have to watch the scene in the film to understand the essence of it.”
Shahid Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, and Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Rangoon’ is to hit theatres soon, and the cast is leaving no stone unturned when it comes to promoting the film. The Vishal Bhardwaj directorial is a love triangle between the three actors and is said to be the ace filmmaker’s contemporary take on the 1942 film ‘Casablanca’. The lead actors of Vishal Bhardwaj’s Rangoon don’t seem to be on good terms outside the shooting, and their onscreen camaraderie will be tested on February 24, 2017, when the film will open in cinema halls.
