• By about 2 p.m., he said they were slurring so much they could not complete the shoot that day.
• He said he sobered up and repeated the same preparation the following day to finish the scene.
• The story comes from a Pinkvilla interview and was picked up by major outlets including The Indian Express and Hindustan Times.
