Don’t spell it out, everything should be subtle, act through your eyes. My only tip to Varun was that the audience should wonder what you are going to do. She didn’t know what was going to happen though she knew about the rape. In the first take, we got some good shots because Huma’s reactions were real. Varun, who has shed his guy next door image for the role of a vengeful husband, took to micro-blogging site Twitter to praise the team behind making the film into a reality. I told Varun to get up and dance with her. I put a thought into Varun’s head: what if your character gets aroused? It can happen. Raghu is grief-stricken but she starts dancing in front of him seductively. She’s a prostitute, and tells him she charges by the hour. Raghu has come for some information but Jhimli gives Raghu the impression that she is siding with Liak when she says, 'Liak did not kill your wife'. We discussed with Varun what was going on in his character Raghu’s head. After that we spoke separately to Varun and Huma. Varun, Huma, my editor Pooja and I discussed it. We were worried how we would show it on the big screen and what and how much are we going to show. But Varun’s character is consumed by hate when he is raping Jhimli ( the character played by) Huma Qureshi. Normally, a Hindi film hero doesn’t do anything like this. R aghu commits a lot of rapes after his wife Misha is killed. Image: Varun Dhawan and Divya Dutta in Badlapur He shot the sex scenes so well that it doesn’t look like it was shot for titillation. ( Cinematographer) Anil Mehta and I discussed it. How do we shoot it right without being crude? I was worried about the scenes of violence and sex in the movie. I was not worried about Varun’s performance or the technical aspects. What difficulties did you face while shooting? So we decided to keep an open ending and let people decide what Raghu does in the end. I didn’t find logic in that so I rejected that too. In another ending, Raghu tries to kill the corrupt investigating cop. This ending would have looked great on the big screen but it would not have made you think. The bomb squad comes to check the unattended bag at the airport and the movie ends there. Then we show the plane in the air, showing he left the country. There was another ending where he takes Liak’s passport which does not have any picture, adds his own picture and takes a new name.Ī third ending was when he leaves the bag of stolen money at the airport and gets his passport stamped at the immigration counter. I was not happy with that so we didn’t shoot it. One was where Raghu ( Varun Dhawan) gives the stolen money to charity and leaves the city and uses Liak ( Nawazuddin Siddiqui)’s passport. There were a couple of endings we had in mind. We see the film first so we know how much to invest in it.'ĭid you think of an alternative ending for the film? I told him I had made the film and he asked me, ' Aap director hain? Bahut fantastic film banaee hain.
