Karan Johar and Dharma Productions are back with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, an upcoming romantic film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai and Fawad Khan. For the film, Ranbir had to shoot a scene in which Anushka’s onscreen father, played by popular television actor Kaushal Kapoor, slaps him.
Says Kaushal, “I play Anushka’s father in the film. In one of the scenes, when Ranbir tries to fix up Anushka and Fawad’s marriage, I lose my temper and throw them out of the house. As Ranbir persists that I agree to the marriage, I slap him.”
Kaushal is all praise for director-producer Karan as well as co-actor Ranbir. “Karan is a great director. Everyone on the sets followed him blindly. Ranbir is also a wonderful actor; he had no issues when I slapped him. Only the assistant director cautioned me to be careful while slapping Ranbir! After the shot was canned, everyone congratulated me for not letting the slap go amiss, but it still made a thunderous noise,” he laughs.
