Actor Deepak Tijori recalled how he got director Mahesh Bhatt to change his mind about a scene in the film Naajayaz, by drawing a comparison between his character and Bhatt’s young daughter Shaheen. He praised the filmmaker for taking his suggestion, and remembered being sent home from set because he was no longer required.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Deepak recalled how the incident went down. He said, “One day, I got a call. I was supposed to shoot at Mukesh Mills at 9 in the morning. We had to be there by 8. Those days, we never used to get scripts, so I asked Bhatt saab’s assistant at the time, Milan Luthria, what I was supposed to do. It was a market set, and Gulshan Grover was there. I was under his wing in the film. I had the character graph in me. He told me it’s a murder scene, and me and Gulshan had to kill Ashish Vidyarthi’s character.”
Bhatt was quiet for a moment, and then he summoned Milan Luthria, whose nickname is Bunty. “Bunty, who the f**k called him? He’s right, how the hell can you get this guy in the scene?” the filmmaker yelled at him, and told Deepak to leave.
In the same interview, Deepak recalled how Bhatt gathered him and Rahul Roy and other actors together, and humorously asked them to decide among themselves who’ll play the lead in Aashiqui.
