Bheja Fry 2 director Sagar Ballary, who directed the actor, admits there were apprehensionsSagar Ballary's Bheja Fry 2 could well apply to the director's own experience on the sets with actor Kay Kay Menon, reveal sources. Vinay Pathak, who was in the first part, shared a fabulous rapport with the director, but Menon was often sceptical of Ballary's direction. And he made no attempt to hide it. "From the start, Kay Kay, who is a perfectionist, had issues about with his character's actions.u00a0
As the film progressed, Kay Kay's misgivings got worse. He'd frequently question Sagar on camera angles, placement and shots. Things came to a head when Sagar's crew left for Indonesia to shoot on board a cruise ship. Kay Kay was horrified when he found that that a 30-day shoot was condensed into 12. He made his displeasure very clear. In fact, throughout the shooting, Kay Kay was apprehensive about how the film would turn out."
Ballary admits there were problems with Menon. "You can't blame him. He has never worked with a director as young and inexperienced as me. My only claim to fame was Bheja Fry, which everyone said was a ripoff of a foreign film. Moreover, he had tou00a0 embrace the part of a suave tycoon that Rajat Kapoor had earlier played. Yes, there were issues. We shot in an atmosphere of mutual caution."
Ballary also admits that Menon objected to his working style. " My narrative style and the way I used the camera zapped him. Ranvir Shourey had reacted the same way during the first film. But last week, when Kay Kay saw the film, his apprehensions were washed away. He told he was very happy with the end result and admitted he was wrong in his apprehensions." All's well that ends well, we suppose.
