There have been many instances of actors becoming close to each other during the course of shooting. Some become friends for life (Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta) and some go on to become full-fledged romances which culminate in marriage (Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor). Right now there seems to be a budding friendship between the reticent Anushka Sharma and her PK co-star Sushant Singh Rajput during the gruelling 10-day schedule in Belgium.
Says a source present on the sets, “Initially there were some differences between them. When Anushka signed PK certain quotes were attributed to her (about the length of Sushant’s role) which upset him. He too, in turn, said things which hurt the actress. But seeing the two actors in Belgium, sharing jokes and fooling around on the sets like two longtime buddies, it was clear that they have put that episode behind them. They always pulled each other’s leg, had lunch together and seemed like any two youngsters just having a good time at work.
They would have long conversations about films, fashion and food.” They were shooting for over 15 hours a day. They would begin at 6.30 am and wrap up at 9.30 pm.
The weather in Burges, where they shot, was extremely unpredictable. One day it was sunny, the other day freezing, so exploring the place was out of the question. The source adds, “Anushka and Sushant were put up in service apartments which were equipped with kitchenettes. Anushka’s manager would shop for ingredients, the three would cook in one of the apartments and would have a quiet dinner, sharing the anecdotes from the day. The food was basic and simple like bread and eggs as they had a wake-up call at 5.30 am.”
We are wondering what Sushant’s fiancee Ankita Lokhande would think of this new dosti?
