The Kaanchi unit, currently in the picturesque locations of Ranikhet hill station in Uttarakhand, did not brace themselves for one kissing scene that would eventually go into 37 retakes.

A scene in the film required female protagonist Mishti to lock lips with the hero, Kartik Tiwari. Associate Director Anshuman Jha, pulled up the two for not kissing with full passion and true love.

He further said that filmmaker Subhash Ghai is someone who will not move his ground until he gets something done perfectly.

After a continuous 37 retakes, Subhash Ghai was satisfied with the shot in the way that Mishti truly stood out.


Kaanchi is an upcoming Bollywood musical thriller directed by Subhash Ghai, releasing in August. Ismail Darbar and Salim Suleman have contributed to the tunes of the film.

The film also stars Rishi Kapoor and Mithin Chakraborty.
