Roach Scare for Lara Dutta

This is an occasional feature of this blog, Bollywood. This time it's another piece for Chalo Dilli. The distributor, Eros International, has sent over this piece about the fun and games that the film's crew got up to when they found out that Lara Dutta isn't the biggest fan of creepy crawlers. In this case it's cockroaches. Also they have sent over two great stills from the film that can be found just after the story.

Guess what Lara Dutta fears the most! No... its not the daredevil stunts or highly dramatic emotional scenes... it is cockroaches. "Even the sight of a cockroach sends shivers down her spine."

So imagine Lara's horror when she had to do a scene with a cockroach for her maiden venture Chalo Dilli. "Lara was petrified," said our source.

The situation got worse when a unit member played a prank on her. "A crew member threw a plastic cockroach on her. And Lara, who otherwise is strong and controlled, got so scared that she practically jumped and ran helter-skelter screaming on top of her lungs. It was a side of Lara we had never seen before. " laughed our source.

Produced by Eros International in association with Big Daddy Productions (owned by Globosport) & Bheegi Basanti production, the brings together Lara Dutta and Vinay Pathak for the first time in this light hearted and frothy venture.
