Bold scenes shouldn't be for sensationalising: Gaurav Arora (Movie Snippets)

Don't want to miss the best from Business Standard?

Actor Gaurav Arora, who made his debut with the film "Love Games", says intimate scenes should be incorporated in a film only if required and not merely to grab eyeballs.

Asked if he is comfortable doing bold scenes on screen, Gaurav told IANS: "For the record, I don't have any intimate scenes in 'Raaz Reboot'. Just one kissing shot, that too in a song."

"It's not about being comfortable or being open to doing intimate scenes. It's about if it is required in the film and if the story demands it, you've got to do it."

The actor says it's a part of his job, but he believes it shouldn't be done just to "sensationalise the film or just to grab eyeballs".

Directed by Vikram Bhatt, "Raaz Reboot" is the fourth instalment of the "Raaz" franchise and features Emraan Hashmi with south Indian actress Kriti Kharbanda. The film has been shot in Romania.

Produced by Vishesh Films, the film will release on September 16.
