Like all other rumours surrounding ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’, director Pradeep Sarkar dismisses this one too
Shooting glitches, a cold war between Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherji and his fallout with former mentor and friend Vidhu Vinod Chopra; Pradeep Sarkar’s second film and Yash Raj’s latest offering ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’ has been in the news for reasons other than expected.
But Sarkar doesn’t seem unduly ruffled. “Yes sure, we had some problems during the shoot in Benares, but there was a press conference later where we clarified our position. Plus, we were on a very short schedule and we had to shoot according to light conditions.”
Rani-Abhi-Ash imbroglio
Ask him about the alleged cold war between the film’s leading stars, Abhishek and Rani, and Sarkar is quick to dismiss the rumours. “There was no tension at all between Rani and Abhishek. I don’t know where these rumours originate from. Contrary to what is being said about there being cold vibes on the sets due to Aishwarya’s (Rai) presence, she was in fact a big help to me.
Aishwarya was always ready with an input or two, or even helping out to get things ready for the shoot.” Incidentally, the film, which also stars Kunal Kohli, Jaya Bachchan, Anupam Kher and Konkona Sen Sharma is slated to release next week.
Vidya woes
Inspite of the fact that his protégé Vidya Balan was supposed to do Konkona’s (Sen) role and backed out at the last minute, the director has no regrets about taking on Konkona.
