When rain played villain in Manali for Kangana

Kangana Ranaut's joy of shooting songs for Samir Karnik's "Roshan" in home state Himachal Pradesh was short-lived after capricious weather played spoil sport. The unit had to return without canning the scenes and will now head for Mauritius.

"We had gone to Manali to shoot songs for Samir's 'Roshan'. We chose an untouched location far away in the hills. How were we to know that we'd have to return without shooting the songs?" Kangana told IANS.

Being a girl from Himachal, Kangana was ecstatic at the locations chosen.

"But our joy was soon gone when it began to rain. Bobby Deol (co-star) and I were stuck in a tent in the middle of nowhere for almost a week," Kangana said.

"We'd rush out when the rain stopped. But as soon the camera was set up and we got into position we'd have to rush back into the tent," she added.

Eventually, the "Roshan" unit had to comply with the meteorological moodiness.

"The director turned the song into a rain-oriented number. But guess what happened? The torrential rains then decided to turn into a drizzle. The rushes looked like scratches on the camera lenses."

"Now we'll be shooting in Mauritius next month. Let's hope the rain gods will be kinder there."

Kangana has her fingers crossed.
