Reema's troubles convincing Shabana, Boman

Jul 25, 2007 IANS

Reema Kagti, director of fun film "Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.", revealed that it took over a year of serious persuasion to convince actors Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani to sign up for the movie.

"They liked the story and were interested in the roles but it took about one-and-a-half years for us to convince the duo to play the roles. It was serious persuasion that made them do it," said Reema.

She added that the huge cast of the film, which included Kay Kay Menon, Abhay Deol, Minissha Lamba, Amisha Patel and Raima Sen, had loads of fun while shooting inside the crammed pink honeymoon bus.

"The bus was really crammed. Once we had the set up done with cameras inside and other things, nobody could go in or come out," she said. "The actors had a great time; they were always playing some game or the other. It was so difficult to get their focus back to the shot.

"Once I saw Amisha Patel climbing out of the window of the bus! Everyone was shocked to see her from outside."
