Actor Indresh Malik, who played the role of Ustaadji in the Netflix series Heeramandi, recently opened up about his intimate scene with actor Jason Shah, who played the British officer Cartwright. Indresh said that while he was a little “hesitant” in the beginning as he did not have much experience with “male proximity,” he had complete faith in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Talking to ETimes about his intimate scene with Jason’s character, Indresh said, “When it comes to my director, I trust, I surrender. It was very important for me to understand what Sanjay wanted out of me in that performance.” The actor said that he was “confident but not overconfident” going into it.
Indresh added that he spoke to Jason for a while so they could both feel comfortable with each other and later, the director told them to “improvise within the boundaries” of the scene. He also shared that towards the end of the scene, when Jason’s character lifts him up, he just said whatever came to his mind and went with the flow.
In an earlier chat with Times Now, Indresh Malik had said that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was immensely impressed with his performance in the ‘nath’ scene and gave him Rs 500 as a token of appreciation. “The scene for my character felt like, there was someone who accepted me, the one who gave me warmth. Wearing ‘nath’ means gaining respect. That moment when the scene was done, I was crying for almost five minutes or more. I can’t cry silently, so I howled. I was howling and crying like a child, there was a pin-drop silence,” he shared and added, “He said, ‘Dekho, rota jaa raha hai, itna achaa toh kiya (Why are you crying, you did so well).’ Then he hugged me and gave me Rs 500 on the sets as a token of appreciation. I kept thinking about the character and that carried on for five minutes.”
