It’s been over two decades since ‘Dil Se..’ was released. The Mani Ratnam directorial starring Shah Rukh Khan and Manisha Koirala, also marked the Bollywood debut of Preity Zinta. It also featured seasoned actor Mita Vashisht, who has taken potshots at the director and Koirala for altering scenes and the script to suit its lead pair. In an interview with Lallantop, Mita recalled shooting a semi-naked scene with Manisha, which was changed since her physique overshadowed that of the latter.
She said, “Mani Ratman kept changing the script. I trained, lifted dumbles, and built biceps because my character is a trained killer. There is a scene where I am helping Manisha wear a bomb vest. In that scene, Manisha’s body is bare but I am wearing full-sleeved clothes. Originally, the scene wasn’t written like that.”
