Shooting for Dharma Productions & Phantom Films’ cucking frazy Hasee Toh Phasee was no easy task for Parineeti Chopra, as the actress was given strict instructions to stay away from her favorite foods especially chocolates, cupcakes and pizza which turned out to be quite challenging given that Parineeti is a complete foodie.
If sources are to be believed, certain scenes in the film required Parineeti Chopra to sport a lean look and director Vinil Matthew, who makes his big Bollywood directorial debut with the film, took personal interest in her diet and supervised her meals.
So impressed was the director with her dedication and discipline that he gifted the actress a huge box of her favorite cupcake treats on the last day of the shoot.
Says director Vinil Mathew, “Yes I had banned Parineeti from eating junk food which is her favorite as I wanted her to maintain her look in the film.However, I felt bad about depriving her from her comfort food and rewarded her with a box of cupcakes on the last day of shooting”.
Dharma Productions & Phantom Films’ Hasee Toh Phasee starring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra hits theaters 7th February 2014.
