MUMBAI :A well-known actor, Manisha Koirala has acted in many different films, such as Dil Se, Bombay, 1942: A Love Story, and most recently, Heeramandi. But filming some of these movies might be challenging. The actor recently remembered shooting "Tu Hi Re," the beloved love song from the movie Bombay, in a leech-infested area.
Manisha said in an interview, “Tu Hi Re was a very difficult song. There was one chunk, two places, which were extremely difficult (to shoot in). One was on the rocks and the sea hits on those rocks and big splashes come, that was pretty dangerous, but somehow we managed to shoot that and we got it right and everything was ok. The other place was, I don't know which area that was, we were in the midst of a thick jungle and it was full of leeches.”
She further added, “So, if you walk one step also, a little distance, leeches would be all over your leg. (For the song) I had to wear a skirt, that blue skirt and I had to run through the jungle. It was full of leeches, there was a lot of difficulty. But then you find a mechanism. We were told you put salt, we wore boots. We figured out how to navigate in a tough situation.”
A Mani Ratnam directorial, Bombay’s music was composed by AR Rahman.
