Urmila's scary underwater sequence!

“I can't swim to save my life!” mocks Urmila.
“And here I was asked to give an underwater shot. A tank was created at Film City and we shot there. I had just told myself that we are done that my director Shripal Morakhia informs me that we are going for a re-shoot. Apparently, he was dissatisfied with the final results and wanted to better it. I should have known that, because there is nothing 'chalta hain' with Shripal.
So we flew to London and shot at the Action Underwater Studio. Supposedly, the place has been host to the shootings of a lot many biggies like Die Another Day. The sequence was one where Naina's character is caught between the two worlds and is trying to transcend into the other.” Urmila explains excitedly. “I remember I was a bunch of nerves when they asked me to sink to the floor of the tank and then quickly come up” the sex-kitten tells us.
“But the battery of professionals ready to attend me blew away most of my fears. Unlike here, there was a complete underwater camera team, assistants, an underwater lightman & safety officers incase of an emergency. They leave nothing to chance. It took me sometime to get comfortable with the shot but I got it right in 3 takes” she smiles. “Talking of the shot, the fear, anguish and despair captured is awe inspiring!”
“You got to watch this one!” she signs off.
