Filmmaker Omung Kumar says actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan amazed him by completing a scene in his film Sarbjit even though it meant she would be injured.
Sarbjit is based on the life of Sarabjit Singh, an Indian farmer who was convicted of terrorism in Pakistan and was sentenced to death. Rai Bachchan plays Singh’s sister, Dalbir Kaur.
“We were shooting for a crucial sequence in Punjab, where Aishwarya had to run on a barren road. The heat was high and the crowd had gathered in great numbers so we had to finish that sequence as soon as possible. At the eleventh hour, Aishwarya’s footwear broke and without any time she promptly volunteered to go barefoot.
“I was amazed with her dedication and it was commendable that she did not throw any tantrums despite getting hurt,” Kumar said in a statement.
The film features actors Randeep Hooda, Richa Chadha and Darshan Kumar, and releases in the UAE on May 19.
