Though it looks like a romantic episode, the reality is completely different.
The crew had specially created a ramp that extended into the Caribbean Sea for a shoot, along with a 50-metre walkway and it apparently got washed away by a storm. While the ramp was reconstructed, recreating the walkway would have delayed the shoot due to which the cast and crew had to wade through waters.
“Due to her costumes and make-up, she (Sushmita) wasn’t expected to traverse the sea on foot to reach the ramp,” producer Viveck Vaswani explained.
“She would have made some reasonable comments like ‘can’t shoot’, ‘too difficult’ or ‘make a walkway’ and that wouldn’t have even constituted as starry tantrums. However, all credit to her professionalism, she was sporting enough to be carried on Mudassar’s shoulders. The two being good friends further eased the situation,” he said.
The fact is that it wasn’t just Sushmita who was transported in a similar fashion.
“Though a picture of Sushmita being carried by Mudassar is being splashed all over, making it look like a romantic episode, the fact remains that the young director with help from other crew members was also carrying sensitive filming equipment. This is not all, as the art director, who is a senior lady with a back problem, was also ferried in a similar manner,” said a source.
All this pain had to be taken by the crew to shoot the film’s title sequence featuring Sushmita on the specially created ramp.
“I really don’t have much to react on something as frivolous as this. There are so many beautiful moments attached with Dulha Mil Gaya and something like this hardly deserves more attention and focus,” Sushmita said.
Mudassar added: “It is easy to sensationalise a simple picture. However, the sheer hard work and sweat that goes into taking a simple shot is something that only those people can explain who have gone through the entire tribulation.”
Releasing on January 8, Dulha Mil Gaya also stars Fardeen Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in a pivotal role along with new find Mohit Chadha.
