It took four days to
film the song ‘Khol De Dil Ki Khidki’ where Saif, Riteish and Ram Kapoor
pretend to be women for the forthcoming laugh riot ‘Humshakals’. Apart from the
fun and frolic and length of the shoot sequence, turning into women made the
actors view women in a whole new light, that of respect and some bit of wonder.
The entire song sequence required all three actors to don exotic, feminine get
ups, which in turn involved long hours of waxing body hair, trying on new outfits
and getting styled, buffed and polished just like beauty conscious women tend
to do! Getting their chests and legs waxed was the toughest part of this
preparation.
“I have dressed up as
a woman for the first time for a film, and now I have developed a new found
respect for women for all the preparations they have to go through," says
Saif who plays the role of three Kishore in the film.
Thanks to Sajid and
his mad cap brand of humor, the entire shoot sequence at an
exotic beach of Mauritius turned out to be so much fun and laughter for
the crew and the actors that he decided to complete the song in four days
instead of a packed three days shoot.
“I am really thankful
to Saif, Riteish and Ram for being such great sports. It was only after I went
to Saif’s green room to narrate his sequence and saw him dressed as woman, I
simply could not stop laughing as it was such a hilarious sight," admits Sajid. He was also informed later
on by his crew members that few of the locals who had gathered to see the
shooting of the song could not stop hitting upon the female avatar of Saif and
Riteish.
The shooting of the
song also brought out the comical side of Saif as he often teased Ritiesh, on the
sets, of being the best female co-star he has ever worked with. In the song
sequence Ram Kapoor gets to romance his own feminine self, and Saif and Riteish
romance each other, typical of the hilarious confusion that Humshakals promises
to deliver.
“The entire make up
process was very tedious as it required sitting in straight positions to get
our waxing done apart from the rigmarole of changing into women’s attire for
the shoot”, says Riteish who plays the role of three Kumars in the film.
At the same location,
the three actors were also inundated with numerous requests from local people
for photographs but they all were turned down as Saif, Riteish and Ram were
apprehensive in revealing their look. They later on obliged by removing their
wig and getting themselves photographed in their funny avatars.
With striking visuals
which promises guffaws and chuckles by the dozen, the three madcaps dance and
romance each other’s girl versions to the song sung by Mika Singh.
Well talk about taking
romance to another level altogether!
