Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan Spill the Beans on Their Sizzling Chemistry in Yudhra - Did He Almost Miss Out on the Film?

Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan are all set to sizzle on the silver screen with their upcoming film Yudhra, which is scheduled to release on September 20. In an exclusive conversation with CNN-News18 Showsha's Titas Chowdhury, the duo opened up about their film, their characters, and the bond they share. What's more - they also spilled the beans on doing intimate scenes, and how they managed to pull off those scenes on a cold day while shooting for a song.

Malavika, who plays the lead role in the film, began the conversation by talking about the film's title. She said, "Yudhra is a very unique name, and I love it. When I first heard it, I was like, this is something that I've never heard before, and that's what caught my attention." Siddhant, on the other hand, revealed that he was initially confused about the project. He said, "When the film came to me, I thought I was being offered Don 3. But then I read the script, and I was like, this is a completely different film. I love the script, and I love the story, and that's when I decided to come on board."

The duo showered praises on each other, with Malavika saying, "Siddhant is an amazing co-star to work with. He's very easy-going, and he's always up for trying new things. I think that's what made our chemistry on screen so great." Siddhant too, had some great things to say about Malavika. He said, "Malavika is a very talented actress, and I loved working with her. She's got this amazing energy on set, and she's always up for a challenge."

One of the most interesting aspects of the conversation was when the duo was asked about doing intimate scenes on a cold day while shooting for a song. Malavika revealed that it wasn't easy, and that's why they had an intimacy coordinator on set. She said, "It's not easy to crack intimacy on screen, especially when it's cold. But our intimacy coordinator was amazing, and she helped us so much. She made sure that we were comfortable, and that we knew exactly what we were doing." Siddhant too, spoke about the importance of having an intimacy coordinator on set. He said, "It's very important to have someone who knows what they're doing, especially when it comes to intimate scenes. It makes us feel so much more comfortable, and it ensures that we're doing it in the right way."

Siddhant also spoke about how working with Zoya Akhtar on Gully Boy had a profound impact on him. He said, "Working with Zoya Akhtar was a game-changer for me. She's an amazing director, and she's got this incredible energy on set. She's also very clear about what she wants, and that's what I love about her. She's also taught me to never do films that glorify misogyny. I think that's very important, especially in today's time."

Siddhant and Malavika's chemistry on screen is undeniable, and that's evident from the trailer of the film. Their fans are eagerly waiting to see them sizzle on screen, and it looks like Yudhra is going to be a treat for all of them. With its unique storyline, amazing performances, and sizzling chemistry, Yudhra is definitely one of the most awaited films of the year.
