Tuesday, 29th July 2014, 04:10 PM IST Director Kunal Deshmukh, who made his onscreen debut in his first directorial venture ‘Jannat’, will also make an appearance in his upcoming film ‘Raja Natwarlal’ which features Emraan Hashmi in the lead role. A source revealed that the director decided to slip into the acting role when a junior artiste who was supposed to be in a shot failed to turn up on sets. "The actor was to play a man whose wallet had been picked on an escalator. The scene was filmed in a shopping mall in Mulund. The unit was having some problem with the lighting and the actor who was supposed to play the bit part was absent. So, Kunal sprung into action, and though nervous, gave a perfect shot," said the source.
Kunal said, "I'd like to believe that it's my Hitchcock moment and not a Subhash Ghai cameo. Yes, I was extremely nervous as it is not a fleeting appearance. However, it went off well and was canned in just two takes." The director laughed and added that he will make an appearance in all his films if this one clicks. "I'd probably make it a ritual then," he said. |
