Ileana D'Cruz is paired opposite Ajay Devgn for the first time in their forthcoming film Baadshaho. They also have shot few intimate scenes for the film.
Speaking about her sizzling chemistry with Ajay, she said, "That was a concern I had and I hope our chemistry comes across. Like in Mubarakan, Arjun (Kapoor) and I had these conversational crutches to create that fun chemistry, which was absent in this film. So, I am overjoyed that people like our chemistry; I even messaged Ajay about it."
Ileana also said, "It's weird but I have never tried to create chemistry. We had to feed off each other for which you need a great co-actor like him. He's intense and his eyes speak a lot. Ajay and I got along from the start and I never felt intimidated by him. There were mutual trust and respect between us, which helps drop your guard down as actors."
On feeling uncomfortable in doing such scene, she said, "I have never done such scenes in my career, but I am not a prude who says no to kissing scenes or wearing certain clothes. I will do what makes sense to the script and the character. The idea of dropping the jacket was mine. I never thought I'd come up with that. The story needed a moment of intimacy where she could show how much she trusted him and how much of herself she could give him. As soon as the shot was okayed, Ajay shielded me until someone came over with a jacket."
Ileana said at last, "It makes it so much easier to work with people who you can implicitly trust. It isn't an offensive scene and it wasn't planned. It came up last minute and worked."
