Zakir slapped by Esha during 'Darling''s shoot Actor Zakir Hussain may not be a big name, but he has become a popular villain with films like 'Sarkar', 'Shiva', 'Darna Zaroori Hai' and 'Deadline - Sirf 24 Ghante'. The actor says that he has not been bashed up by the heroes as yet but recently when he tried his hand at comedy in his forthcoming film 'Darling', directed by Ram Gopal Varma, he got slapped for his efforts and that too, by the heroine.
Zakir was doing a hospital scene with Fardeen Khan and was discussing it with him. Esha Deol, who is playing a ghost in the film, was flitting in and out of the scene. "As the scene was being canned, Ramu suddenly shouted 'slap him' and Esha, who was so engrossed in her role, slapped me very hard on the face. It was not exactly part of the script and hence nobody was prepared. Her slap was spontaneous and real. It was only when Ramu said 'cut' that Esha realised the impact of the situation and kept apologising. I told her not to worry or feel ashamed about it," says Zakir. Zakir is yet to feel the 'impact' of Esha's father and brother in his forthcoming venture 'Fool N Final' with Sunny Deol, and with Dharmendra in 'Johnny Gaddar'. |
