Tusshar Kapoor and Shabina Khan's first joint production, a Tamil remake of Kanchana has run into a bit of toruble. In the film Ajay's character gets possessed by the spirit of a transgender. For the climax scene, Devgn had to wear a sari and make-up but he has flatly refused to do so.
Ajay has made it clear that said the scenes where he had to wear female, the makers have to find a way to do it without him wearing a sari. He told Shabina he would plan something with her where the attire would be a feminine one but definitely not a sari."
The source says this has put his producers and director Raghava Lawrence in a quandry. "The climax scene in the temple is crucial to the film which is where Kanchana (the trangender) avenges his murder by possessing Raghav's (Ajay's character) body. Raghav has to dress like Kanchana. Shabina and Tusshar have tried convincing Ajay that they will try to tone down the effiminate look but they can't do away with the saree. Ajay won't wear a salwar-kurta too so now nobody knows what to do! They are all stuck at a dead end with the first schedule starting in October.
