Pooja Bhatt has managed to convince Himesh Reshammiya to smooch on screen for Kajra Re. The film produced by T-Series and directed by Pooja stars Pakistani actress Mona Liza opposite Himesh.
According to a source, "The film has a few intimate scenes between Himesh and Mona Liza. While Pooja had tough time trying to get Himesh to perform those, the nasal singer completely refused to do a kissing scene which is supposed to be a very essential part of the script. This particular kissing scene was supposed to be shot during the Jordan schedule that concluded just a few days back. Himesh's argument was that he wouldn't be comfortable doing anything that he cannot sit and watch along with his wife and son. A huge altercation followed between Pooja and Himesh over this matter. Himesh refused to budge from his stand and Pooja had no choice but come back without canning the smooching scene!
But now once back in Mumbai, Pooja continued pestering Himesh to perform the kissing scene. After all she comes from the Bhatt camp which holds a Masters degree in smooching scenes when it comes to their films! Finally, Himesh agreed but on the condition that it would be shot aesthetically without much people around on the sets at that time. The kissing shot sequence now shall be shot in Mumbai in the film's next schedule beginning in a few weeks time."
