Suniel Shetty Recalls How Working With Divya Bharti On Mohra Sets Was An ‘Absolute Treat’; Says, “That Girl Was…”

The action film Mohra marked a turning point in Suniel Shetty’s career. Initially, the late Divya Bharti was cast opposite him, but after her untimely death, Raveena Tandon took over the lead role. While the film turned out to be a box office hit, it went to several hiccups. In a recent interview, Suniel Shetty recalled how he and Divya Bharti used to have fun on sets.

Suniel Shetty spoke about working with Divya Bharti in Mohra. He told Radio Nasha, “We shot at Belgaum jail but that girl was absolutely fearless. She was full of life and masti. Hum Rajiv [director Rajiv Rai] ko kaise sata sakte hain, Shabir [Screenplay writer and producer Shabbir Boxwala] ko hum kaise sata sakte hain, hamari planning wahi rehti thi (How could we trouble director Rajiv Rai and Shabbir Boxwala, that was always our plan). What should we do to get people to laugh and lighten the atmosphere? She was an absolute treat to work with.”

Suniel also reacted to Anil Kapoor calling him and Akshay Kumar “50% waale heroes” after the poster of Mohra was released. “Yes, there was this type of dialogue—I had saw it in the newspaper too. Lekin voh star the toh bol sakte the. (But he was a star, so he could say that.) He meant that a single hero should have been taken instead of two actors. Jawani mein hum sab ne kahin na kahin dialogue mara hai and media ko maza aata tha usse pick karne mein (We all said some dialogues in our youth and media had fun picking it up)”, said the actor.

Talking about Mohra, it also starred Akshay Kumar, Raveena Tandon, Naseeruddin Shah, Raveena Tandon, Poonam Jhawer, Raza Murad, Paresh Rawal, Gulshan Grover, and Sadashiv Amrapurkar.
