Here’s everything you did not know about the Akshat
Verma-directorial
Saif Ali Khan, who has spent
25 years in Bollywood,entertaining the audience with an array of films
like Dil Chahta Hai, Omkaraand Being Cyrus among
many others, hits the momentous 60th film mark with debutant director Akshat
Verma’s Kaalakaandi. The actor, who is known for picking
distinguishable roles, zeroed in the dark comedy admittedly after giving it a
lot of thought.Eventually,Saif immersed himself so much into the project that
he even choreographed the wedding song Kaala Doreya.
Previously,Saif had suggested hook steps for Dil Chahta Hai’s Wo Ladki
Hai Kahan.
Nary Singh, who is one of
the most-talked about characters from the promos of the film, had a fan-girl
moment. While playing a pivotal part, she shared screen space with Saif and was
not only awestruck by the actor’s presence on the set, but also nervous while
enacting her scenes. When the director brought it to Saif’s notice, he made it
a point to make her comfortable. But that’s not all. There are more such facts
about the film that could draw you into its funny, yet dark narrative. Actor
Deepak Dobriyal, known for his performances across indie and mainstream films,
tutored his co-stars in the Haryanvi dialect for the film. While shooting the
song, Swagpur ka Choudhary, a break-meets-funk-rock number with
Haryanvi lyrics, found most actors having difficulty in lip syncing the lines
correctly and bring out the essence of what was being conveyed.Deepak, who
plays a gangster in the film, came to their rescue and explained the meaning of
the lyrics, which helped his co-stars to slip into the right mood for the
number.
Neil Bhoopalam, who plays an
underworld don, styled himself keeping the fashion of the ’80s and Amitabh
Bachchan in mind. His look is replete with long side locks, bell-bottoms and
tight shirts. The actor also watched the superstar’s movies to effectively copy
his stance.
The film also stars actors Vijay Raaz,Sobhita Dhulipala,Kunaal
Roy Kapur, Akshay Oberoi, Shehnaz Treasury, Shivam Patil and Amyra Dastur.
The movie is produced by Cinestaan Film Company and Flying
Unicorn and releases on January 12, 2018.
