Emraan Hashmi and Neha Dhupia stuck inside a maze for an hour while shooting for Rush

While shooting in Goa for Percept Picture’s thriller Rush,leads Emraan Hashmi and Neha Dhupia happened to get stuck in quite an amusing situation.

An initial fun song shoot turned into quite a confusing scenario as Emraan and Neha lost their way through the mirror maze created for the scene ,so much so ,that they were stuck inside for over forty minutes.

Says a source “ The crew had designed an elaborate set in Goa for the song shoot which involved this massive oval mirror maze. It was quite confusing as after some point you couldn’t differentiate the real person from his/her reflection. Though initially enamored with the maze, Emraan and Neha ended up having difficulty getting out of it .Luckily, however, they both had a good laugh about it”.

Previously titled Raftaar 24*7 ,Percept Pictures’ thriller directed by the late Shamin Desai starring Emraan Hashmi is now officially titled Rush and is scheduled to release in the second half of 2012.

Also starring Neha Dhupia and Sagarika Ghatge,the film revived by Percept Picture Company and creative director Priyanka Desai sees Hashmi play the charismatic and controversial journalist Sam who plunges into a vortex of violence in a deadly engineered game of cat and mouse .
