Om Shanti Om's Best Kept Secrets Revealed
Did you know, before the final look for Shah Rukh was decided for the first half of the film, he had to try out different hairstyles of the popular heroes of the 70’s era . The list included Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Shashi Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna. And he looked adorable in most of them.
Do you know the secret behind Shah Rukh’s perfect ‘six- pack abs’- well it is sheer hard work! While he was shooting for the song Dard-E- Disco, he had a makeshift gym arranged on the set and would work out in between shots! Now that is what we call - Dedication!
Inspite of a stunt double being on the sets, Shah Rukh insisted on doing his stunts himself. Be it flying in the air, or jumping through fire! All for the love of ‘Om Shanti Om’!
A very heart warming incident happened on the sets, when ‘Mithun Da’ was shooting for a song. As soon as he entered the sets-the entire crew started whistling and clapping. Infact, the craze was so much that he was almost mobbed. Everyone wanted to get a picture clicked with him- And guess who was clicking some of those pictures –King Khan himself! Sooo sweet!
Guess who will be spotted after a hiatus of 4 years-in in this film ?! Well, it is none other than the stunning Karisma Kapoor! She will be shaking a leg with Shah Rukh Khan. In fact she was quite nervous to face the camera after such a long gap. But as usual, she gave a perfect shot- as the crew cheered her on.
There are many ways in which Farah Khan has made the making of ‘Om Shanti Om’ a very special experience for her entire cast and crew. One of them was- when she gifted personalized- T-Shirts to everyone from the spot boys to the Stars of the film. And guess what some of the T-Shirts say, “ You have made it big- Om Shanti Om.” So if you see someone wearing a black and gold T-Shirt like that, you know where it’s from!
In the first schedule of the film- which lasted for over a month, a huge set was put up on Helipad. The Executive producer of the film, Sanjeev Chawla, built a five star lounge -for the entire cast and crew to chill out after a hard day’s work . Now that’s what we call Generous!
Deepika Padukone was recommended by her director Farah Khan, to watch all the super hit films from the 70’s - to help her prepare for her role as a film star of that period. Guess what happens when Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt - remove their jackets, stand on the bar and dance together !! Whew! Fireworks!!!
That’s exactly what happened when the four hunks were shooting for a dance number in Om Shanti Om! The crowd was going simply berserk! Just the sight of those guys dancing together sent the entire crew , and the crowd in a frenzy!!! The stars were having a ball themselves dancing on the peppy number!! Now this is what we call a hot and happening shoot!!!
Did you know Om Shanti Om will be the first of its kind in which almost the entire crew will be seen playing bits of roles in the film. Including Farah Khan, who supposedly has a very funny sequence with Shah Rukh. Well the list is endless , from the DOP, to the entire Direction team , to the Executive Producer, to the Hair dressers, to the Art director and hold your breadth Spot Boys as well…they are all there!! Can just about imagine the fun on the sets!
