Mahesh Bhatt offers to remove Kissing scene from Nazar

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt sees the Rs.10 million fine slapped by Pakistan on actress Meera as a “conspiracy” and is ready to drop the kissing scene involving her out of “Nazar” if it helps end the controversy.

“The news of the fine on her has come as a shock. When an Indian newspaper published it, the Pakistani authorities denied it but I have just been told by the actress that the fine stands,” Bhatt told.

“The objective behind my movie ‘Nazar’ is to strengthen relationships between the two countries and that should be appreciated” he said.

Pakistani actress Meera is currently in Pakistan shooting for a film called ‘Anarkali’, despite the eight security guards protect her house. Meera received threats from some Pakistani groups, following her kiss (on screen) with Ashmit Patel in Soni Razdan’s forthcoming ‘Nazar’.

Meera intends to return to India (Mumbai) as soon as she has completed the shooting.
