Meanwhile, in a recent media interaction, Jaggesh shared an incident from the initial days of his career where he ran away from the shooting set because of a romantic scene. The news is currently going viral. Let’s take a look.
According to the report, when Jaggesh got his first project, he did not know how to make a film. He was selected as the hero of the project. While he was shooting the movie one day, the director explained a love scene. The director told Jaggesh the shooting of the scene would be near the theatre.
Initially, Jaggesh was fine and was ready for the shot. The actress was also ready; she was playing the role of a blind woman. The shooting started near the Sampige Theatre. When the shoot started, the actress, who was playing the role of a blind person, looked at Jaggesh differently. Seeing her look, Jaggesh never completed the love scene. Some other kind of doubt came to him, and he immediately ran away from there. He thought about leaving the movie immediately.
Later, Jaggesh left the movie halfway. This was an AIDS awareness project. The love scene was shot after putting a poster on the side of a public toilet. After knowing this, Jaggesh backed off from the project immediately.
Meanwhile, Jaggesh and Guruprasad spoke about this incident in an exclusive interview for the film Ranganayaka with anchor and actress Anushree on the YouTube channel. In this interaction, Jaggesh recalled his old days.
