Not embarrassed of my love scene with Katrina

Gulshan Grover says he isn't ashamed or unhappy with the intimate scene he shot with Katrina Kaif that shall feature on the new DVD of Boom.

Memories from the past seem to have come back to hound Katrina Kaif. Especially ones that she would surely want to forget. Recently it was reported that the DVD of her first film Boom will be re-released in the market with some never-before-seen footage. And these unseen portions include an intimate scene between Katrina Kaif and Bollywood's patented bad man – Gulshan Grover.

Katrina was new and naïve then. Today she is superstar and sophisticated. It could be embarrassing for her that after all these years the explicit footage will now come out in open. Ask the other person involved in the scene, Gulshan Grover and he says, "I have never been embarrassed by that scene because I merely play a character in it. Today every talent knows that any photograph or video footage of their which they would have wanted to go unnoticed earlier, would somehow resurface with the kind of media and medium we have today. So they are prepared for it".

Going back the memory lane, Gulshan Grover says, "The scene that you talk about shot between Katrina Kaif and me is a beautiful sequence shot on the backdrop of the aquarium of Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. I am not ashamed or unhappy about it in any way".

In fact he reasons that the scene was earlier cut from Boom because of length issues. "The film was such that its eccentricities did not gel with the Indian audiences then. It was ahead of its times. In fact I make it a point to show the Boom DVD to my Hollywood friends because they seem to understand and appreciate the film better".

Katrina-Gulshan lip-lock back on DVD | Video News

Katrina-Gulshan kiss is back!

Her steamy kiss with Gulshan Grover in the DVD of her debut film that was deleted, will now appear in the new one 

Katrina Kaif's hot liplock with Gulshan Grover in Boom (2003) is all set to return to haunt her. The actress had managed to get the screen smooch deleted from the first DVD by putting pressure through Salman Khan, who she was dating then. No one says no to Khan. But now that he's out of her life, the kiss is making a comeback.

The question that begs to be asked is why the makers want to release a fresh DVD when it's not exactly a hot selling item. Says an industry source, 'It is clear that the makers of Boom want to cash in on Katrina's success. She is a top actress now and naturally there will be curiosity about a steamy scene she did, when she was a newcomer." It's just another way to make a quick buck at her expense.

Gulshan confirms, "It is true. The new lot will have the controversial scene, which was omitted earlier. Many years have passed since we did Boom and even I had forgotten that such a scene existed in it. But we are all set to refresh the past. The scene certainly will have its share of reactions."

Meanwhile, the actress is clueless about this new development. However, a source from the production says, "They don't need to inform her or get her permission for the same. She had signed a contract knowing fully well what she was doing and had got paid for it." Fact remains that Kat has time and again admitted that she regrets doing the bold scenes at the start of her career.

Boom on big screen too
Sanjay Jumani, the international distributor of the film, reveals, "It is true that the deleted scenes will be included in the new print. We are also going to re-release the film in UK, USA and Gulf. We feel the film had not got its due when it released. It was ahead of its time."

Gulshan Grover replaces Mickey Rourke

Gulshan Grover, was recently in Los Angeles to shoot for one of the PETA campaigns. The whole crew including the models and the photographers worked free for the love of animals. 

Grover shot two campaigns for PETA – one against wearing leather and the second one to control the number of dogs. Interestingly, Grover has replaced Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke in this campaign, as earlier, this campaign was done by Mickey Rourke. Says Grover, "Don't kill someone for looks, instead kill them by your looks. If you wear leather, an animal has to be killed for that, but if you wear pleather, it looks the same and nobody has to be killed. We are all wearing pleather in the shoot." Grover told us that PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk thanked all of them personally for their contribution to animals.
