Mumbai: When Milap Zaveri’s upcoming action-thriller Marjaavaan was being planned, producer Bhushan Kumar told the writer-director that he should not show people being burned anymore. “Bhushanji was upset that there was a Muharram scene in Satyamev Jayate as well as the burning and bloodshed, which resulted in the film getting an ‘A’ certificate. As a result, the film missed the Rs 100-crore mark by a whisker,” says a source.
It seems that the suggestion from the producer was put on the back burner as actor Sidharth Malhotra had a ‘back-burning’ scene the other day. “There was a scene in which Sidharth was fighting off some hoodlums. His back and shoulder were to be on fire and he was asked to use a stunt double, which he politely refused,” says a source. Thankfully, the scene culminated without any mishaps. Scheduled for an October release, Marjaavaan also features Tara Sutaria in the lead and will see Riteish Deshmukh playing a dwarf.
