Recently, Himesh Reshammiya refused to do a love-making scene for Pooja Bhatt's upcoming film Kajra Re following which Pooja dropped the scene from the script.

Our source informs us that the Kajra Re script had to be altered as per Himesh's demand. He says, "When Himesh came to know that he had to make love to the heroine in Pooja's film, he flatly refused. Mahesh Bhatt and Shagufta Rafique, who have penned the script, tried to reason out with Himesh, but failed. He was absolutely resolute about not doing the particular scene."

Kajra Re is inspired by a true story about a lawyer from the pre-independence era, who meets a girl in Morocco and falls in love with her at first sight. Unfortunately, the girl disappears soon after. Ultimately, the lawyer tracks her down to a red-light area in Hiramandi in Pakistan.

When contacted, Shagufta (who also wrote the script of Pooja's Dhokha ) says, "The scene was following the natural progression of the narrative and I don't see what was wrong with that."

She continues, "Himesh, however, is entitled to his opinion. When I met him for a script session, he absolutely refused to shoot the scene. He was simply vehement about removing the scene." On the other hand, Mahesh Bhatt agreed with Himesh's stand on the issue. He says, "He definitely had a point and hence we agreed with him."
