Known for his impeccable acting skills, Jaideep Ahlawat is one of the most critically acclaimed actors. Recently, the actor recalled one of the incidents where he actually feared for his life. In a conversation with a news portal, he recalled how amid the shooting of 'Vishwaroopam', he and superstar Kamal Hassan got almost arrested by the cops. He said, 'This happened when I was shooting for Vishwaroopam with Kamal Haasan sir in Manhattan, New York. This was around Christmas in 2013 and the entire US was on high alert for the festival. We were shooting with three big SUVs on a bridge and Kamal sir was sitting with me in one of the cars. We couldn't finish the scene in one go so had to go around and return. Now, we had to cross a toll booth every time we wanted to return to the bridge. The third time we reached the toll, eight or ten cop cars surrounded us. Situation aisi ki bhai goli mat maar dena. We sat with our hands up and explained we were shooting. Somehow, we got out of that mess. They let us off with a warning. Later on, it became a hilarious memory.' While citing that scary episode, he further confessed that at that time also, even in the midst of that traumatic experience, his mind was racing about his career as he added, 'Your mind is a weird thing. I was thinking if we get arrested, I would be a hit. I hadn't done anything grand till then but suddenly Jaideep Ahlawat would be the man who got arrested with Kamal Haasan in the US.' Notably, 'Vishwaroopam' was an Indian spy action thriller film directed and produced by Kamal Haasan. He even played the lead role and wrote the story. Meanwhile, talking about Jaideep Ahlawat, the actor is known for films 'Raazi', 'Gangs of Wasseypur', 'Gabbar is Back' to name a few.
