Sunil Grover who will be seen next in Salman Khan starrer Bharat had upset Katrina Kaif on set. A report claims he got slapped so hard by Katrina that the sound echoed on the film set.
The film will see a scene where Sunil who is essaying the role of Salman’s childhood friend, pokes a finger at Katrina, which results into the actress slamming her palm hard on his face. While shooting however, it cracked Salman instantly, Sunil revealed to Bollywood Hungama.
He said, "Mere character ka naam Vilayayti hai.. Main ungli marke check karta hoon madam sir hai kya..Kumud thappad marti hai... Uske dauran meri hasi choot rahi thi..pehli baar thapad ka awaj jyaada aya to Salman sir hans pade zor se...bahot muskhil se shoot hua tha,"
Sunil also talked about how nervous he was working with Salman Khan on screen, but the Race 3 star made him comfortable and they was no turning back for them. While Salman and Katrina recently appeared on the Kapil Sharma show to promote the film, Grover stayed out of the event.
Talking about the same he said, “Mera jaana kuch aisa zaruri bhi nai tha. Jis film mein Salman Khan hai, Katrina Kaif hai toh mukhe nahi lagta ki aapko promotion ke liye aur kisi element ki zarurat hai. Aur mera mann nahi kiya jaaneka toh mai nahi gaya (It was not necessary for me to go there because if you have Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif promoting a film, you don’t need any other element. Also, I did not feel like going there so I did not go.)”
The film is a remake of the Korean film, ‘Ode to My Father’ which stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Sunil Grover, Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff, Tabu and more. Bharat will hit theatres on June 5.
