Heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor had the fright of his life when he had to shoot a bike sequence with newbie Nargis Fakhri for Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision and Eros International’s ‘Rockstar’. He was expected to ride pillion with Nargis who had just learnt riding a bike barely half an hour ago.
Apparently, Director Imtiaz wanted to shoot a sequence involving Nargis riding a bike with Ranbir sitting behind. Since Nargis had never ridden one, Imtiaz asked his team to teach Nargis.
To everyone’s surprise, after just half an hour of practice, Nargis claimed that she could manage riding and was ready for the shot. Ranbir however, expressed his concern. Obviously he didn’t want to end up breaking his bones. But the crew members all backed Nargis and said that she had indeed picked up really fast and was ready to shoot. Ranbir had no option but to accept shooting for the film on the road and in high traffic. All this, not before he did his usual rounds of prayers to his God.
Everyone present couldn’t help but chuckle at Ranbir’s obvious reluctance. However, once the shoot commenced, Ranbir realized that Nargis was indeed a fast learner and was handling the bike quite comfortably. That’s when he relaxed and eventually enjoyed his short spin with Nargis.
