For Anjali Patil, who plays the second lead in Mirzya, one of the most challenging scenes was the one that required her to use a hot iron rod on actor Harshvardhan Kapoor.

The National Award winner, who plays Zeenat in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's directorial, says, “In the scene, I had to remove a tattoo from Harshvardhan's back. The process is quite painful and the way we shot the scene was scary. The iron rod was heated to an extent that even if a single particle dropped on his bare body, it could have pierced his skin. We stuck a patch of flesh to his back, but I was still worried that I might end up hurting him.“

We hear the team shot the scene multiple times before okaying it. “Harshavardhan was brave and trusted me. Of course, we took safety precautions.“
