Legend has it, Alfred Hitchcock had to shoot and re-shoot the shower scene in his 1960 horrorthriller Psycho over seven days to get the right impact. Ragini MMS 2 will have a similar scene featuring Sunny Leone and Karan Mehra. And it apparently took director Bhushan Patel over six hours to shoot.

The scene required the actress to go topless, but she refused. A source from the set reveals, “Sunny wasn’t comfortable shooting bare-breasted and conveyed her reservations to the key production team and to Bhushan. After some discussion, it was decided to use skin-coloured pasties with matching silicone for a nude effect and these allude to Sunny shooting the scene without a bra. She was okay with this as opposed to actually shooting topless.”

Interestingly, despite the arrangement, only key crew members were present on the set, which was closed for everyone else. Over 17 camera angles were used to capture the essence of erotica of the scene. “This scene comes at a very critical juncture in the movie... an important revelation is made, which provides the turning point in the storyline. The scene begins with Sunny in the shower, and after a while Karan enters the picture,” says our informer.
