An 'intimate' video of actor Johny Baweja, Harman Baweja's cousin, from his upcoming film 'Scandal' has been leaked online.

Johny can be seen in a compromising position in the video, and he is "surprised how this footage got leaked".

"Yes this is me in the footage... It is so embarrassing. This ('Scandal') is a film I'm doing and it is a rehearsal video and it is supposed to be a very personal thing," Johny said in a statement.

Further details about the film, including its director and Johny's co-stars, have been kept under wraps.
