Lady Gaga became red: Tarsem Singh

Soon after Lady Gaga was ready, her team ‘zipped her up’ and had asked her to give 911 gestures with her hands. However, Tarsem joked that Lady Gaga almost ‘passed out’, after he took three retakes, as one of the singer's fingers was behind the black mask. The director added that he was not happy with the scene even after three takes and had announced one more retake, to which Lady Gaga became ‘red’ (angry). Lady Gaga asked him in anger whether he ‘had it or not’. Singh admitted that he took a look at an angry Gaga and mentioned that he has ‘got what he wanted’.
