Muddy waters
Anushka Sharma has been treading in murky waters indeed. But before you get the wrong ideas about controversies and such like, let us tell you we don’t mean that in a metaphorical sense. We mean it quite literally. For her film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, Anushka had to struggle through some muddy water just so she could get a scene that director Vishal Bhardwaj wanted, just right.
“Vishal wanted her to rise out of the water like a Bond girl. Ordinarily, a swimming pool or something like that would have been organised for the shoot. But the film is being shot in a small village in Haryana and all the team could manage was a small pool of muddied water,” a source from the sets told us.
Our khabru also told us that not only was the water dirty, there were also all kinds of insects swimming about in it. Anushka was understandably apprehensive about getting into the muck. “She was worried that she might catch an infection of some sort from the dirty water, but was determined to go through with it nevertheless,” our source said.
Anushka finally gave the shot in one take. “Full marks to her for her faith in Vishal,” says a unit member. “Vishal was quite impressed by her dedication.” Now if Anushka manages to impress the audience, the dunking will have been worth it.
