The
days were gruelling, shooting in the remote locations of Goa. But the nights
were just perfect for actors Kunal
Khemu, Vir
Das and Anand
Tiwary to let their inner creativity loose almost daily. Watching the
boys bond, it was hard to tell that it was their first time working together.
They got together like they had known each other forever! And the bonfire nights
were the perfect platform for the three of them to come up with impromptu songs
based on the happenings during the day. During those late night parties where
Go
Goa Gone crew had fun with the trio, it was Saif
Ali Khan who helped them in improvising their off the cuffs songs and
made sure that they will also be entertained after all. “After
those late night parties, next day Saif used to take Kunal, Vir and Anand out
for dinner and cocktails. You may not believe but we partied almost every
alternative night during the entire shooting schedule. Kunal, Vir and Anand were
really enthusiastic enough to party till late and start their next shooting day
very early”, informed one of
the production guys. “There
hasn’t been a concept like this on Indian screens; the film is a great big
bundle of action and fun. Audiences will be blown away for sure. The entire unit
tried to put in their best, and we naturally wanted to put in our best too not
just on screen but off screen too. We started with making up situational songs
inspired by the happening of the day, one day. Everyone loved it so much that we
continued this till the last day of the shoot. We sang, strumming our guitars
and everyone would be in splits. We would go on for hours, late into the night,
even though we had to get up at the crack of dawn the next day!” says
Vir.
The songs were hilarious and often risqué, and the team would laugh uproariously at each line sung. “Dan Macarthur, our DOP from Australia, and Jordi Cirbian, our sound specialist from Spain, who are musicians in their own right, would also chip in and keep the team in splits,” recalls Kunal.

Directors Raj
Nidimoru and Krishna
DK say, “The
three guys and their chemistry with Saif was a treat to watch. They were a riot
both on and off the screen. We know Vir is known for his stand-up acts, but
Kunal and Anand have this straight-faced humour that is very funny. They kept us
in splits throughout the shoot and the bromance between the three guys is one of
the highlights of the film. Each of them are amazing in their own way - Kunal is
one of the most talented young actors out there - has a great range, and he is
especially hilarious in this film. Vir, of course, has great sense of humor and
comic timing, and Anand is going to be that big discovery in the
film.”
This zombie
comedy has friendship at its core but not in a conventional way. Vir, Kunal and
Anand have an atypical friendship in the film. It’s light hearted, urban and
based on current youth, yet it is not frivolous.
Saif

Films along with Sunil
Lulla of Eros
