‘Dedh Ishqiya’ not as risque as ‘Ishqiya’: Arshad

Actor Arshad Warsi has shot a kissing scene with Huma Quereshi for Dedh Ishqiya and says it’s not as raunchy as scenes in Ishqiya.

“Yes, a lot has been written about it and the same happened during Ishqiya. Yes, we shot for the scene, but it’s not as wild as Ishqiya,” Arshad said.

For the 2010 crime thriller, director Abhishek Chaubey had shot intimate scenes between Arshad and Vidya Balan. However, the actor says the kissing scene in Ded Ishiqya has been “shot differently” by the director.

“We have almost finished shooting for the film, just four days are left and then some patch work - that’s it,” he added.

Dedh Ishqiya also stars Madhuri Dixit and Arshad calls her an “excellent actor” and added: “It’s a pleasure working with her. She is unbelievable and a thorough professional.”

Dedh Ishqiya also features Naseeruddin Shah.
