It was a catfight over who looked smoking hot. A dress change was necessitated till the claws were withdrawn.
Minissha Lamba and model-turned-actress Pia Trivedi were shooting recently for Hum Tum Shabana at the Balaji Studios, Chandivili.
A party track called Music Bandh Mat Karo was being filmed and thus, the set was a nightclub.
A source from the unit said, "The brief was to make both the starlets look sexy in the song. Moreover, as the number marked Minissha's entry in the film, it was one up for her.
But as soon as she stepped on the sets, she felt Pia looked more glamourous in her metallic dress.
Minissha seemed a bit miffed and then changed into another outfit and went ahead with the shoot."
A source close to Minissha however, states, "It was actually the other way round. Minissha had designer Mandira Wirk doing her clothes that didn't go down well with Pia.
Minissha's costume was inspired from the song from Jennifer Lopez's music video I Am Into You. So there is no question of changing into something else at the last minute."
The source continues, "Pia was the one who threw a fit when she saw Minissha.
In fact all her demands for more footage have not gone down well with the writer and director. They have vowed never to work with her again."
Directed by Sagar Ballary, the male cast of HTS includes Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade. Ballary and the producers remained unavailable for comment.
