MUMBAI: It was meant to be absolutely hush-hush. But the sizzling music video featuring Randeep Hooda that was shot on the Arnala beach has become the talk of the town.

Apparently, the vibes between Randeep and his co-star Shahana scorched up the entire beach. The song has Randeep revealing more of himself than ever before. “I’ve never shot without my shirt before,” Randeep said shyly. “This is my first video and we did need a hot look for it. If the need arises, I can whip off my clothes for a role. But the provocation has to be creativity, not sensationalism,” he said.

On the beach Randeep and Shahana got seriously romantic. “But it’s just for the camera. And that’s where all my ability to project romance will remain for now.” About his first brush with doing a music video, he said, “I love the music video format. This music video lets me take off shirt and just go wild. I need to have the element of fun in my life now.”
