Actress Zareen Khan, who was recently seen in Ananth Mahadevan’s Aksar 2 had a harrowing experience at New Delhi, where she had gone to promote the film and following the incident, she accused the makers of the film of unnecessarily making the film more erotic than it was supposed to be. Khan also accused the makers of making her wear minimal clothing in every scene.
Now, the makers have lashed out at Zareen and this is what the producer and director had to say about the actress…
Producer Narendra Bajaj said, “Firstly let me clarify I am the producer of the said film and there is no need to point fingers at others. Secondly, Zareen was kept in the loop for everything and a bound script was given to her and nothing since has changed. About the clothes-she tried everything in Mumbai before we left for the schedule in Mauritius and all the clothes were approved by her so I don't understand her comments!”
Bajaj added, “The Delhi itinerary was given to her talent company two days in advance so I don't know how can she say we over committed her. Regarding vulgarity, we don't come from that school and everything was done in consent of the actor and in the boundaries of the Censor Board. We are a reputed film production house and have been in the industry for over 30 years having worked with the top names in the industry . Our reputation in the industry is known by all and we do not want to debate on anything or anyone doing whatever for reasons best known to them.”
On his part, Mahadevan said, “I work with a final edited-on-paper script that was given to all actors, hence it comes as an amusing surprise that there are allegations of confusion, extra shots etc. Every shot was explained during rehearsals and Zareen could not have had more clarity, as we worked hard on her performance. I have repeatedly said that a few kisses do not make a film erotic and that is not the reputation me or my producer like to have. Zareen has been through the entire shoot and dubbing sessions and she was quite thrilled with the results and she happily confessed in her interviews that she excitedly looked forward to the female oriented film. We on our part have retained that essence and in no way tarnished the film by adding anything untoward or unnecessary to the scenes."
Wonder what Zareen has to say about such allegations now…
