Kalki Koechlin ended up biting Prosenjit's lips while filming an intense scene for Shanghai

Kalki Koechlin ended up biting Prosenjit's lips while filming an intense scene for Shanghai
We are sure that this will indeed come as a shocking revelation for the readers as sources inform that Kalki Koechlin's first on-screen liplock, in the upcoming Shanghai with Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee, ended with the young actress attacking the veteran!

Eyewitness presents on the sets during the filming told that while doing an intense smooching scene for her Shanghai, Kalki literally ended up biting Prosenjit. Though Kalki had shot for a split-second kissing scene in Shaitan and Dev D, but this is her first smooching scene onscreen.

Dibakar Banerjee, who is the director of the movie Shanghai, recently revealed to the sources that, "Kalki plays an Indian in the movie with a mixed parentage and looks like a foreigner. Prosenjit is a well-known social activist."

He further states that to get into the mood of the scene that was shot in a kitchen, he instructed Kalki to attack Prosenjit. "I told her to make the first move. While filming, she actually bit PC sir's lips!" the director said.

The most funniest part of the story is that Dibakar actually forgot to say "cut" while shooting this scene and instead got busy shooting the tap in the kitchen.

Well we guess Kalki that you really need to take some lessons...no no we are not talking about acting lessons here, we are talking about kissing lessons!
