How 'Teraa Surroor' broke Himesh Reshammiya's alcohol abstinence

Movie Still

Kolkata: Filming in the chilly climes of Dublin in Ireland for "Teraa Surroor" was rather memorable for singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya. The crooner says he had to sip brandy to cope with the weather and break his vow of abstinence from alcohol.

Shot in Dublin, "Teraa Surroor", an "entertaining thriller" which stars Himesh in the lead role, posed a unique challenge for the music composer.

"I don't drink but I had to take brandy to shoot for a particular sequence. It was very cold and we were wearing thin clothes. The alcohol hit me and I shot in an intoxicated condition. That was really memorable," he told the media here on Saturday.

"But I had to break my promise that I won't consume alcohol," he said.

"Teraa Surroor" is the sequel to the 007 film "Aap Kaa Surroor", starring Himesh along with debutant Farah Karimaee, Naseeruddin Shah and Shekhar Kapur among others.

"Dublin has never been exploited in the way we have shown it in the movie. There are stunning visuals and chases etc," Himesh said.

Directed by Shawn Arranha, the film releases on March 11.
