Former Ms. Great Britain, Preeti Desai, who is also known as Abhay Deol’s girlfriend, is making her debut in Bollywood with Balaji’s forthcoming comedy, SHOR - IN THE CITY. Preeti is former Miss Britain and she has given an elaborate and intimate love-making scene with the American-Asian sensation, Sendhil Ramamurthy. Sendhil is known more for Heroes, Covert Affairs, and others and his steamy on-screen scenes with Dania Ramirez in the third season of Heroes had created stirs in Hollywood.
Though the festival cut of the flick has won numerous accolades at leading film festivals in New York, Pusan, and Dubai, but Preeti is worried about the hotness of the scene. The scene, which had been re-shot by the director for the lack of passion in it has now come out impressive and is likely to be retained in the final version of the film, which releases on April 28.
When contacted Tanuj Garg, CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures, says, “There is a romantic scene between the two in the film, which is very aesthetic and integral to the narrative.”
However when we asked about Desai’s request to tone down the intimate scene, Garg simply tells us, “Preeti is a through professional.”
Complete star cast of Shor in the City includes Tusshar Kapoor, Alok Chaturvedi, Sudhir Chowdhary, Pitabash Tripathy, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Nikhil Dwivedi, Radhika APte and Preeti Desai. Movie is directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna Dk who are also the producers of Shor in the City.
