Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta displeased with Shekhar Kapur

It seems to be a rerun of actors Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone episode, when they ganged up on actor Ranbir Kapoor on a chat show, except this time it’s actors Preity Zinta and Bobby Deol taking on filmmaker Shekhar Kapur on Preity’s chat show. The actors hinted at being left high and dry by the filmmaker during the making of their debut films.

According to sources present on the sets of the chat show, the editors of the show are now mulling over whether to edit out the portion from the show.

Sources say that Shekhar’s topic came about when Bobby recalled the time when he made his debut in films. “Bobby got very nostalgic when asked about his debut film, Barsaat. He revealed that the film was initially being directed by Shekhar Kapur,  but when the film Bandit Queen came his way, he left Barsaat high and dry,” informs a member of

the crew. Reacting to Bobby, Preity also recalled that her debut film Tara Rum Pum too had received the same treatment from the filmmaker.

“It’s such a coincidence na, Bobby? Even your first film was being directed by Shekhar and left half way, and even my first film was being directed by Shekhar and left half way,” she said. Bobby then shot back instantly, “Well, that’s just how Shekhar is!”  Following the debut film hiccups, Barsaat was finally directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, while Priety later went on to make her debut in Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se opposite actor Shah Rukh Khan.

It’s to be seen whether this portion of the conversation on Shekhar will be retained in the final cut!
