'Dedh Ishqiya' kissing not as wild as 'Ishqiya': Arshad !!

Actor Arshad Warsi has shot a lip-lock scene with Huma Quereshi for "Dedh Ishqiya" and says it's not as raunchy as "Ishqiya".

"Yes, a lot has been written about it and the same happened during 'Ishqiya' as well. Yes, we shot for the scene, but it's not as wild as 'Ishqiya'," Arshad told IANS.

For the 2010 crime thriller, director Abhishek Chaubey had shot intimate scenes between Arshad and Vidya Balan. However, the actor says the kissing scene in "Ded Ishiqya" has been "shot differently" by the director.

"We have almost shot for the film, just four days' shoot is left and some patch work - that's it," he added.

"Dedh Ishqiya" also stars Madhuri Dixit and Arshad calls her an "excellent actor" and added: "It's a pleasure working with her. She is unbelievable and a thorough professional."

"Dedh Ishqiya" also features Naseeruddin Shah.

Sixteen: Keith gives Wamiqa kissing lessons

Actress Wamiqa developed cold feet over a kissing scene in her debut flick, Sixteen. She is one of the four teens in the film, directed by Raj Purohit.

Interestingly, Wamiqa had had no issues when she was briefed about the scene earlier. But on the day of the shoot, she was nervous — more so because her parents were present on the sets. 

Wamiqa's co-star Keith — who she was supposed to kiss — decided to calm her down. 

And it worked. Says he, "The shot was okayed in a single take. The scene signifies the loss of innocence in the film. Initially, when we were told about it, she was okay and I felt shy. I felt awkward probably because of the age gap. But when we had to actually shoot, it was the other way around." 

Sixteen, presented by Fincraft Media & Entertainment and Paramhans Creations, releases on July 12.
