| High-voltage drama struck the Amar Tara Studio sets (in Powai) where Siddhant Cinevision's Sarrkkar is shot, on Tuesday. Rohit Roy, who plays Karan in the Zee show, was in no mood to shoot. Tense situation
Reason? The actor had a strong difference of opinion about a particular scene, and found it so difficult to digest that he tried his best to scuttle it.
Heated words were exchanged between the show's creative people and Roy. While Roy argued for a long time, other actors like Tisca Chopra and Maninee were made to cool their heels. Scene kya tha?
Yana's (Maninee De) evil designs are exposed, and she is asked to leave the household. Urvashi (Tisca Chopra), who has been under a lot of stress owing to Yana's misdeeds, goes forward and asks her to stay. Fact file
When contacted, Roy admitted he had reservations about the scene, despite the fact that he was not mouthing the lines spoken to stop Yana.
He said, "I have been a part of Sarrkkar from day one, and am deeply involved with every minute detail on the show. Sarrkkar is unarguably my best role on television. I did have reservations about that scene."
Roy felt Urvashi should not ask Yana to stay. "I understand that the antagonist has to stay back, else it's difficult to take the story forward. But how can a person who has been harmed so much as Urvashi, ask her not to go?"
After a long, heated debate, the scene was shot with a minor change. Siddhanth Cinevision and Zee did not agree with Roy's viewpoint. Said the actor, "A few lines were added. Now Urvashi tells Yana to stay back until she can arrange for accommodation. But I wasn't too happy." Goswami's denial
Roy says he had to give in to the production house and the channel. "It's okay. These things happen when you are closely involved with a show. I don't think the other actors got angry when I was discussing this with the concerned people."
Strangely, producer Manish Goswami said Roy did not create a ruckus on the sets on Tuesday. "Everything is fine. No such thing happened." |
