Bollywood actor Kalki Koechlin bit Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee's lips while shooting an intense smooching scene in the film "Shanghai".
Though Kalki has done split-second kissing scenes in the films 'Shaitan' and 'Dev D', nobody had seen her smooching for a long time on screen.
When Shanghai's director Dibakar Banerjee first told Kalki that he wanted to shoot an intense smooching scene between her and Prosenjit Chatterjee for Shanghai, it was imperative that the duo understood the background story of their on-screen characters at Atul Mongia's workshop before filming it.

"While fighting a rough battle in a politically volatile small town, she comes across as angry, vulnerable and idealistic.
