Ek Villain: Sidharth, Shraddha shoot underwater sequence for 7 hours

Mumbai: Actors Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor remained underwater for seven hours to shoot a romantic track for their upcoming film 'Ek Villain'.

For the song 'Galliyan', both Sidharth and Shraddha stayed underwater in Mauritius and took just a few breaks. They took rigorous lessons in Mumbai before taking the plunge, the makers said in a statement here.

The song track will release this week. In real life, Shraddha is a trained diver and Sidharth is a water enthusiast, who looks forward to becoming a certified scuba diver soon. Directed by Mohit Suri, 'Ek Villain' also stars Riteish Deshmukh and Kamaal R Khan and is scheduled to release in June this year.
