Rahul Dholakia recalls Bipasha Basu shot Lamhaa in curfew-hit Kashmir!

The action thriller Lamhaa by Rahul Dholakia centers on the life of an Indian Army undercover agent tasked with finding the perpetrator of terrorist strikes in Kashmir. Despite the movie's spine-tingling scenes in the valley, filming there was actually quite challenging due to curfews. However, Bipasha Basu directed the film and it was filmed during the curfew when actors like Karisma Kapoor and Deepika Padukone declined to perform the role.
 
The director was talking to a media source when he talked about the difficulties of filming in Kashmir and the horrors of creating the film. Rahul Dholakia revealed that after Karisma Kapoor and Deepika Padukone chose not to film in the unrest-plagued Kashmir valley, he had to lure Bipasha Basu into filming amid a curfew. On the first day of the shoot, he remembered that he and 10,000 other people were held captive for roughly 4–4.5 hours, during which the Alone actress abruptly left the set.
 
But after a while, she came back to complete the task at hand. He said, “I shot in curfew with Bipasha and she got really pissed with me” because they didn’t inform her about the curfew. At that point, Basu was happy and was in awe of beautiful Kashmir. But later, when she got to know there was a curfew, she called him and said, “How dare you make me shoot during curfew?”
 
In the same conversation, he revealed that no one was joining him since he wanted to shoot in the valley. “Karisma had just had kids and wanted to be a part of the film but refused to shoot in Kashmir. Deepika Padukone gave me the same answer,” Rahul disclosed.
 
The Parzania creator recalled being kept captive, saying he was kept in a room with 400 other people and informed, ‘You are against Kashmir.’ Fortunately, though, they were abandoned after hours when someone identified him as the director of the National Film Award-winning picture. Along with other films, Rahul Dholakia is also credited for Kehtaa Hai Dil Baar Baar, Mumbai Cutting, Shah Rukh Khan, and Mahira Khan's Raees.
