'There is no lovemaking in my film!'

Director Kushan Nandy is in the eye of a storm.

While shooting his latest film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, Kushan apparently asked his leading lady Chitrangda Singh to add intensity in her lovemaking act with her leading man Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Apparently, the words Kushan used offended Chitrangda’s sensibility and she stormed out of the film.

But Nandy denies the report.

"The story is completely one-sided and absolutely untrue," he says. "Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is a thriller and has no space for erotic scenes. But I’d rather not get into a battle of words right now as I have a film to finish.”

This writer tried getting in touch with Chitrangda for her side of the story but she did not respond. However, in an interview to spotboye.com she said Kushan 'said that I should do it bindaas. What is a bindaas woman? One who wears a petticoat and jumps on a man? Kushan argued that my character in the film is that of a poor woman who goes a tad wild. Does being wild mean that she will start humping her man every time she sees him?'
