Hasee Toh Phasee leads Sidharth Malhotra & Parineeti Chopra not allowed to meet prior to the shoot.

While audiences are raving about the trailer of Dharma Productions & Phantom Films' Hasee Toh Phasee,directed by Vinil Matthew,and the chemistry between the film's leads ,very few know that Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra were asked not to interact with eachother prior to the shoot of the film in order to keep their chemistry intact.

Talking about this exercise says director Vinil Matthew, "There is a certain kind of tension that you experience when you are not familiar with a person and I wanted that kind of chemistry in my film. Since Sidharth and Parineeti haven't interacted much, I wanted to keep that slight tension intact and also wanted them to get to know eachother only during the course of the shooting."

The advertising veteran who makes his directorial debut with the cucking frazy film also conducted separate workshops with Sidharth and Parineeti before the film went on floors.

"I did separate workshops with them for 3 weeks - I decided to do them separately as I didn't want to ruin the kind of chemistry I wanted them to share on the film.” adds Matthew.
