Juhi Chawla Refused to Reshoot Kissing Scene with Sunny Deol
Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol starred in a movie called Lootere in 1993.
There was a scene where they had to kiss.
Juhi was a bit shy and didn't want to do it.
The producers thought it was important for the story.
They shot the scene once, and Juhi said she wouldn't do it again because her contract only said she had to do it once.
The producers kept the first take in the movie.
It was a big deal because the movie was mostly about Juhi's character.
Juhi Chawla starred opposite Sunny Deol in the 1993 film Lootere, directed by Dharmesh Darshan and produced by Suneel Darshan.
Juhi was initially hesitant about the film's westernized image and a beach song where she had to wear minimal clothing.
There was a lip-to-lip kissing scene between Juhi and Sunny that was crucial to the story.
Juhi refused to reshoot the kissing scene, stating she had already fulfilled her contractual obligation by doing it once.
The producers kept the first take of the kissing scene in the final cut of the film.
