Bipasha Basu says she doesn't get rattled easily. But a bunch of unkempt, lewd men did the trick when shooting dance sequences for Omkara.

Bipasha told Mumbai Mirror in an interview that she ran away from the stage and only returned when she was told the men were actors who had dressed down for a role in the audience.

"I saw the crowd and I had a panic attack and ran away. I had never seen so many unshaven, unkempt, unbathed and lecherous men in a crowded sweaty place," Bipasha said.

"I got really scared. And for the record, I'm not easy to scare," she added.

Bipasha plays a dancer in Omkara and features in two item numbers.

It took Bipasha some time to realize that these 'lecherous' men were hired actors who had deliberately been made to look unkempt and lewd for the item song.

Putting her trust in the movie's director Vishal Bhardwaj , Bipasha danced her way through the item numbers in the film.

Bhardwaj, in fact, shocked other stars of the movie as well while shooting various other sequences. He made Kareena Kapoor ride a rickshaw in the middle of a crowded bazaar in Lucknow. He made Ajay Devgan sit at the back of a dilapidated truck while shooting another scene.
