MUMBAI MIRROR (January 28, 2015)

Mahesh Bhatt has been promoting Khamoshiyan, that releases on Jan 30, saying 'You Are What You Hide' and looks like the makers have been hiding their biggest kept secret. We have learnt that the writer of Khamoshiyan and director Karan Darra's mentor, Vikram Bhatt, and the leading lady of Khamoshiyan, Sapna Pabbi, don't look eye to eye. This has happened after a massive showdown on the sets of the film in South Africa when the cast was shooting the film's erotic scenes featuring Sapna, Ali Fazal and Gurmeet Choudhary.

“Sapna was comfortable doing all the erotica in the film but some of the scenes of the Adult rated film are really bold. There are two scenes in the film which had Sapna being in bed with Gurmeet and Ali. She said she would not do those scenes even after she agreed doing those during narration. The film's crew was at a loss because these scenes were crucial to character of Meera (played by Sapna) who traps the souls of men by using her body. Vikram had to come into the picture and have a conversation with Sapna that turned ugly as she said she is not a porn star. Vikram lost it and explained to her that these scenes were needed. It was a heated conversation and Sapna agreed to do the scenes. But things are really ugly between them,“ says a source from the production.

This rumour was fuelled when Vikram was found missing from the promotions of Khamoshiyan. He had only come during the trailer launch. When contacted Vikram confirmed the story saying, “Yes, the entire industry knows about this so there is nothing to hide. She was not doing some bold scenes that were really crucial to the film. I had to talk to her and calm her down and tell her that she had agreed to do those before. Someone had to bring some sanity on the sets. But after this moment I don't look eye-to-eye with Sapna anymore.“
