Meanwhile in the outdoor shoot of the film, the actress, and the director stayed at the same hotel and this is when things started to take an ugly turn. On the third day, after directing her 'closely', Reptile suggested, "so let's meet in my room for dinner we'll discuss the script."

"Come eight o'clock I go to the hotel's flower and cake shop, I buy this exotic bouquet... and this box of luxurious chocolates and I knock on Reptile's door. And he says come in, and he's sitting in a satin maroon lungi kurta. It was so tight, it was so cheesy, but there he was reclining. "Chopra proceeded to give him the flowers, chocolates, a big hug and lots of thanks for "shooting her beautifully". "He looked a little surprised when he saw me behave this way. Because he said that he didn't expect the fly to be so enthusiastic to walk into the spider's web," explained Chopra.

"So I pretended to put my hand over the receiver and I said, ya ya ya I'm in sir's room discussing the script. Sir, how long do you think it'll take?" She ended up getting 5-6 calls in succession asking her to come down and join the party. "And sir just lost his desire to discuss the script and that was that. And I was not on a plane to India, and we did finish the film and it was great fun," said Chopra.
