The controversial kissing scene in "Nazar" may well have generated an
extraordinary pre-release hype, but there is much more to the film - its very
special special effects.

Special effects expert Wilson Louis, who worked on the
film, says he liked the way it was shot.
"It has a very intriguing story-line, which keeps you
riveted on the screen. The film revolves around the story of a woman who can
foresee things well in advance, which is where the special effects come into
place." Louis reveals.
So what did he feel about Pakistani actress Meera's
controversial kissing scene? "Nothing controversial about it. In fact, it gave
the impression of being a natural sequence in the film," he said.
But this natural sequence is not going very well with the
people back home for Meera.
Local news channels in Pakistan repeatedly flashed
snippets of the movie where Ashmit leans toward Meera, their lips coming closer,
she letting out a heavy sigh. But then, since censors do not permit a kiss to be
shown on Pakistani television, the picture turns fuzzy and the rest is left to
the imagination.
Conservative Islamists are incensed at the thought of a
Muslim woman kissing a Hindu. Some have called for an apology; others have filed
a lawsuit, demanding that she be censured for an "immoral scene" -- it is
unclear what the court could do if it agreed -- and still others have issued
death threats.
However the Lollywood babe has defended her role and
said there were no obscene scenes of her in the film, which is yet to be
released.
She also said that claims of the obscene scenes were
far-fetched as none of the critics had yet watched the film and that not even a
single still of the movie has been released.
Says Meera: "The scene is just a suggestion shot. There is
no kissing shot in the film and it is not a vulgar movie."
Feeling "sick" of all the criticism from Pakistan, Meera
has decided to extend her stay in India and has rented a home in Mumbai. She has
also drawn up plans to work in other Bollywood movies.
Speaking about Nazar,
Meera saya: "I wanted to make history by working in a Bollywood film because
never before has cinema in the two countries come together in such a big way.
The producer is trying his best to get the government's permission to also
release the film in Pakistan."
