When Deepika Padukone thrashed the boys!

While shooting a scene for director Pradeep Sarkar’s film Lafangey Parindey, Deepika Padukone, who plays a foul-mouthed blind girl, was supposed to thwack co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh and his friends with a broom. But the actress hit them very softly, when the shot was canned.

That’s when director Pradeep Sarkar rolled up his sleeves and jumped in for a demo. He wielded the broom and showed Deepika how she was supposed to hit the boys, hard and fast on their butts. While the boys ended up with bruised bums, Deepika could hardly contain her chuckles.

So when Sarkar called for the retake, Deepika knew what she had to do. She held the broom firmly and whacked it hard on the boys’ butts and also threw a pail of water on them.

Sarkar was happy with the shot. Can’t say the same for Neil and the boys.
