Isha Koppikar On Intense Chandralekha Scene: ‘Nagarjuna Slapped Me 14 Times, I Had Bruises'
Last Updated: Bollywood actress Isha Koppikar shared a story from her second film, Chandralekha, where she asked co-star Nagarjuna to slap her for real to capture genuine anger. Ating can be a tough gig, especially when you're taking real slaps for the sake of art! Isha Koppikar recently took us down memory lane, sharing a rather painful story from one of her earliest films, Chandralekha. While chatting with Hindi Rush, the actor revealed that during the shoot, she asked her co-star Nagarjuna to slap her for real. And, well… he ended up doing it 14 times! 'I got slapped by Nagarjuna," Isha said, laughing about it now. 'I was a fully committed actor that I want to perform in a real, method way. So when he was slapping me, I couldn't feel it. This was my second film, so I told him, 'Nag, you really slap me.' He said, 'Are you sure? No, I can't.' I said, 'I want that feeling. I am not feeling it right now.' So he slapped me, but softly." But that wasn't enough for the camera or her director who still couldn't catch the right expression of rage on Isha's face. So, what followed was an unexpected slap marathon. 'In an attempt to look angry, I got slapped 14 times. At the end, I literally had slap marks on my face," she added. 'Bechara mujhe leke baitha, bola sorry. I said, 'I asked for it, why are you saying sorry?'" Chandralekha, a remake of the Malayalam film by Priyadarshan, marked Isha's debut as a lead actor in Telugu cinema. The Krishna Vamsi directorial also starred Ramya Krishnan, Murali Mohan, and Tanikella Bharani alongside Nagarjuna. Now more selective about her roles, Isha was last seen in the 2024 sci-fi adventure Ayalaan with Sivakarthikeyan and Rakul Preet Singh. The film did well at the box office, collecting Rs76.5 crore globally. Isha Koppikar, born on 19 September 1976, is an Indian actress, politician, and model. While she is best known for her work in Hindi cinema, she has also appeared in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Marathi films. She began her acting career in South Indian films in the late 1990s before shifting her focus to Bollywood in the early 2000s. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ram Gopal Varma Plans Out-of-Court Settlement in 2018 Cheque Case After Jail Sentence
Last Updated: Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma moves to settle his cheque bouncing case from 2018, after being sentenced to jail and fined by an Andheri court. Back in January, a magistrate's court in Andheri found Varma guilty under the Negotiable Instruments Act. He was sentenced to three months in jail and ordered to pay Rs 3,72,219 to the complainant within three months. The case goes back to 2018, when a company named Shree, represented by partner Mahesh Chandra Mishra, filed a complaint. The dispute was over unpaid dues related to a hard disk supply to Varma's firm. Varma, however, denied that he issued the cheque in question. His legal team filed an appeal in the sessions court in February, challenging the verdict. But things seem to be shifting. On Monday, Varma and the complainant submitted a joint statement in court, stating their plan to settle the matter through the Lok Adalat. With that update, the court agreed to adjourn the hearing until November, giving them time to work things out. It also granted two chances for both sides to reach a mutual agreement. Meanwhile, on the work front, Ram Gopal Varma's psychological thriller, Saree, which was originally made in Telugu and dubbed into several other languages, is streaming on OTT platform Aha. Following its theatrical release in April 2025, the filmmaker decided to bring the film to OTT. The film was written by Ram Gopal Varma, directed by Giri Krishna Komal, and produced by Ravi Shankar Varma. The psychological thriller Saaree dives deep into the unsettling transformation of love into obsession. The story kicks off during a holiday trip, where a man while spending time with his group of friends, spots a woman draped in a strikingly elegant saree. Captivated at first glance, what starts as infatuation quickly spirals into an unhealthy fixation. First Published: July 30, 2025, 08:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
