Mika Singh, who is best known for his music and singing chops, attempted to experiment by turning producer. The singer confessed that despite many advising him against entering the world of production, Mika wanted to give a try and decided to start with a web-series starring Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu titled Dangerous. However, the musician claimed that it was a ‘horrible’ experience and said that the actors created a lot of drama.
During an interaction with KADAK YouTube channel, Mika Singh shared his experience of turning producer and revealed that his initial plan was to only cast Karan Singh Grover along with a fresh face. “I wanted to cast Karan Singh Grover and a newcomer girl so that the project remains under budget, and we make something nice, but Bipasha Basu jumped into it and was like, ‘We can both be part of this series’. They didn’t exceed the budget, but the experience was horrible,” he said during the interview.
He further elaborated on why the experience turned into a nightmare and stated that the schedule was extended leading to financial loss. “I took a team of 50 to London for a month-long schedule. However, it was extended to two months. Karan and Bipasha created a lot of drama. They were a married couple, so I booked a single room for them. But, they were like, ‘No, we need our separate rooms.’ I didn’t understand the logic. They then demanded to moved to a different hotel. We did that as well,” he added.
Talking about the delay, Mika continued, “Later, when we were shooting a stunt scene, Karan Singh Grover fractured his leg. They even created issues while dubbing the film. They were giving excuses that they have sore throats and other things. I couldn’t understand the drama, especially when they were paid for their work.”
The singer was merely surprised when the real-life husband wife created issues about onscreen kissing. “They are husband and wife, and yet they created drama around kissing each other on screen,” he expressed.
While deciding that he wouldn’t produce any shows further, the musician couldn’t help but wonder about the situation of small-time producers. “These stars fall on the feet of big producers like Dharma Productions and Yash Raj Films and keep praising them for even the tiniest roles, but their attitude changes when it comes to smaller producers. Aren’t we also spending money?” he questioned.
In the same interview, Mika Singh also insisted that while he intends on not continuing to produce, he thanked Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan for giving him sound advice about production and why it wasn’t the right choice for Singh.
