Actor Upen Patel found the action sequences in Suneel Darshan's romantic musical mystery "Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha" difficult due to "dangerous weather conditions".

Upen said in a statement: "I love doing action, but the action for this movie was very difficult due to the dangerous weather conditions. It was minus 3 degrees and we were shooting on a hill near the coast with no stuntmen. The wind was so strong, and below us was the sea so one wrong move... it could have been over for me."

The sequence involved hand-to-hand combat and the choreography was devised on the location at Cornwall, UK. No training was given as they wanted it to look natural.

According to a source, Upen even got injured while performing a stunt. He was asked by the doctors to rest for a week, but due to shortage of time, Upen continued to shoot.
