However, during the actual shooting, it wasn&rsquo;t looking nice. In fact, we planned to shoot the scene in full focus and use props to cover the groin as he walked. However, due to the prosthetics not working properly, I just said we would shoot the scene out of focus.\"\r\nSandeep revealed&nbsp; \"He just said okay immediately. There was no discussion. It was a ten-minute conversation where I said shooting it in out-of-focus would make things more spooky and curious. And he was ready. See, the results could be anything, but if this happens, the film would be fun; it is all about conviction (sic).\"
