Because my hero was quite tall, I’m 5’2 and my actor was 5’11 or almost 6 feet tall”.
Shweta further said, “He would mess up every scene, give retakes, him being Telugu can’t speak the language. Even I couldn’t but I was managing. And I’m like, you’re telling me about something that I have no control over. It’s something that genetically aya hain (it’s genetic), you manage no. It’s the only set where I was really bullied, very bad”. However, Shweta did not reveal the name of the Telugu film.
