Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif had to get messy with tomatoes for a song in Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. And going by Woody Allen's quote ("Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right), the messier it is, the hotter it looks. In fact, the outcome was so hot, that the filmmaker's had to redo the entire song before it's release on national television.

The song picturised in Spain was to depict the Tomatino festival. The song was to depict the love angle between Katrina and Hrithik. But after the 'first cut' was shown to the stars, even they couldn't handle the heat.

A still from the Tomatino song

A source informed, "The original plan was to begin the song with the boys and then move on to Hrithik and Katrina. But when both of them saw it, they felt that it could be misconstrued. So they requested the director to tone down the sizzle."

"Everyone was worried as it was to be released this Sunday on TV. However, finally it was managed. The song has now been changed. They have added portions of all the four (Hrithik, Katrina, Farhan and Abhay) actors together.

The song is about the four friends just like the theme of the film. When contacted, producer Ritesh Sidhwani said, "Yes, the Tomatino song has been changed. It's because cinema is a collaborate effort."

Zoya in a dilemma over Hrithik-Kat's liplock

Zoya Akhtar is thinking of toning down a 3-min long kiss between Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan in 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'

A few weeks ago, director Zoya Akhtar had to tone down the chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif in the song Ek Junoon in her next, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Reason being it was a group song also featuring Farhan Akhta, Abhay Deol and Kalki Koechlin.

And Hrithik and Katrina's chemistry was taking away the essence of the group number. Now, Zoya is faced with another dilemma; to retain or drastically tone down a three-minute intense kissing scene filmed on both of them.

A very long scene
Revealing the nature of the scene, an insider elaborates, "After a severe exchange of words, Hrithik's character Arjun leaves in a Buick. Katrina (Laila) chases him on her bike. Stopping his car, she forces him out and pinning him on the bonnet, kisses him. And it's a rather long scene, about three minutes long."

However, Zoya's predicament triggered from their sizzling chemistry in the Ek Junoon number.

"When they saw the first cut of the song shot during the Spanish Tomatina festival, Zoya felt that the chemistry between the two actors was too much for a group song," recalls our source, adding that the filmmaker also understood the dilemma of the two actors for whom it could get awkward personally.

"Hrithik's kissing scenes with Barbara Mori in Kites and Aishwarya Rai in Dhoom 2 were talked about a lot. Kats' liplock with John Abraham in New York was hyped too."

Our informer maintains that the scene is very crucial as it conveys the strengthening of Arjun and Laila's romance. "That's why Zoya is finding it difficult to decide on how much of the kiss to retain and how much to leave out," source says.

We tried contacting Zoya Akhtar, but she didn't revert to our text messages.
