Hindi cinema is full of different types of experiences. These are experiences that have the potential to surprise you. We are sharing some such experiences with you.
Prem Chopra, who plays the villain character, is himself very afraid of snakes. The fear of snakes had ingrained in him since childhood. Once in a movie he had to catch a snake. This film was based on snake. Many scenes of Prem Chopra with snakes were to be shot in the film. When it came time to shoot the scene, Prem Chopra got scared. His body became cold. Prem Chopra started leaving the film.
Even when the film director explained to Prem Chopra that there is no poison in the snake, Prem Chopra was ready to listen. He was very nervous. Then the director and producer decided that shooting would be done with a fake snake. Prem Chopra still liked this option. In this way he completed the shooting of the film with a fake snake.
Similarly, Prem Chopra was very scared while filming the whipping scene in the film Dostana. He was afraid that in reality actors Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha might get hurt by the whip. After every scene, he would ask Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha whether they were hurt. One reason for this fear was that at the end of the film the villain was to be beaten with the same whip. Therefore, if Prem Chopra’s whip had hurt Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha, then at the end of the film they would have definitely taken revenge from Prem Chopra, who was playing the role of the villain. That’s why Prem Chopra remained scared while shooting the whip scene.
These incidents not only show the human side of an artist but also highlight the psychological side that even a person who appears cruel, violent, barbaric in films is afraid of some things and he also has a sensitive heart. He is only doing his work on the screen. It is not fair to make any assumptions about him from the screen.
