Eesha Koppikhar and I share a great relationship. As per the script's requirement, we needed to shoot an intimate scene between Eesha and Aarav Choudhary, whom I'm introducing in Right Yaaa Wrong.

When I told Eesha about the love-making sequence we needed to shoot, she was sceptical about it and she asked me whether we could make do without it. In fact, we also had a small tiff over it as I had narrated this particular scene to her before she had agreed to do the film. Everyone on the sets thought that we were fighting over it, though we were just discussing the scene like good friends.

It did take some time for me to convince Eesha but eventually she agreed and understood. Finally, we did the scene with Eesha and Aarav and I made sure that no one was present in that room while we were filming the scene but for the cameraman, the chief AD and me.

I started shooting the scene but realised that Eesha was very artificial and I needed it to look real. I felt we are all mature and the Indian audiences over time have matured in leaps and bounds. No longer do we see couples kissing behind flowers and such symbolic shots in Indian films.

Here, I had to show Eesha passionately in love with this guy Aarav, so when she is making love to him it had to look real and authentic. I went up to her and explained what I needed from her. I also suggested that she could think of someone she loves while I’m filming the shot. Well, I really don't know who that mysterious guy she thought of but according to me this particular scene I got out of Eesha is the most passionate scene shot ever on the Indian screen!

I also played a small trick on Aarav. I went up to him and told him to be a man. And that he is supposed to make love to his lover and not to the star Eesha Koppikhar. I charged both of them and I managed the best. It is again a very crucial scene of the film and we shot it in a very dignified way, as Right Yaaa Wrong is a Universal film and not only meant for adults.

Fortunately, I managed it all. At the end, Eesha told me how I had manipulated her to get the best out of her and we had a great laugh over it. I’d told her, remember one thing, when the film releases, people are going to praise you. So, for the film, let’s do the scene!
