Doctor had to be called on sets. Arya Babbar, who does not smoke in real life, took ill after overwhelming 14 packets of beedis over two days while shooting for Madhur Bhandarkar’s “Jail”.
For the climax of the film, Arya was mandatory to smoke beedis. At first Arya was quite anxious about the idea as he had never ever smoked a cigarette leave aside beedi.
But he had to give in to Madhur’s demand who asked him to practice smoking at least a day prior to the shoot.
Arya started with smoking cigarettes first and then moved on to beedi. For two days, he incessantly smoked beedis and by the end of the shoot he had consumed 14 packets.
The entire exercise made him sick and a doctor was called on the sets who advised Arya complete bed rest. The actor landed up with severe bronchial cough.
Arya, who is Raj Babbar’s son, has now totally sworn off smoking.
