The lissome beauty Deepika Padukone, had to move out of her comfort zone for Prakash Jha’s Aakarshan, which she is currently shooting for in Bhopal. Maybe, that happens with every actress who works with a tough director like Prakash, who prefer to shoot in real locations. Like Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu in the past, Deepika too had a tough time dealing with the crowd that came to watch her shoot. Apparently, the actress nearly fainted when she saw a huge mob of students gathered to watch the shoot of the film.
A unit source reveals, “Prakash Jha was shooting in the college campus when a huge crowd gathered to watch the stars shoot. The scuffle that broke out among the students gathered to watch the shoot left her zapped. She had never seen such a huge crowd before. Also, Bhopal was an alien territory to her and did not know how to react.”
Deepika plays a college student in the film. “She shot a few scenes and felt comfortable gradually. When Saif joined the crew, his presence further eased things out for her,” adds our source.
