Behind the scenes
Dil Dhadakne Do, one of the most awaited films of the year, is the coolest film to release this season. The industry, trade and audiences have all been gung-ho about the film and the reviews have been very encouraging. Those who have watched the film have absolutely loved it and cannot stop raving about it. Right from the time Dil Dhadakne Do went on the floors it has been in the news for various reasons, especially for the fun the cast had while shooting. Here are some interesting instances from the sets of Dil Dhadakne Do:
Mass participation
While shooting in Istanbul, the team had to shoot an important sequence at Sophia Museum in Istanbul. They roped in all the tourists and staff present there and got them to be a part of the sequence. What’s more, they got everyone to shoot for six hours!
Sun, solitude and seagulls
While they were on the cruise, a lot of seagulls were seen flying close to the ship. Farhan Akhtar was usually seen in the evening, when he was free, feeding bits of bread to the seagulls. He would take bread and break it into pieces and feed the birds soaring overhead. Farhan enjoyed spending quiet time.
Competition gets real
Priyanka Chopra had a scene where she had to play paddle tennis with Rahul Bose. The scene had to continue for about a minute and it was a crucial scene for the film. For the scene to look convincing Priyanka picked up the racket and started learning the sport. Teaching her was none other than her co-star Rahul Bose. Priyanka and Rahul got in the real competitive mode and continued playing matches even after they finished shooting the sequence.
Dolphin hunting
Throughout the entire shooting schedule, while on the cruise, the team did not spot a single dolphin in the Mediterranean Sea. However, on the last day, the team saw about 50 dolphins. One of the crew members spotted a dolphin and called everyone aboard the deck. The team soon gathered there.
Double dhamaka
After the team of Dil Dhadakne Do finished the shoot of the film, there was a wrap-up party for the entire unit on the beach. The entire cast and crew was present. Co- incidentally, on that day it was also Priyanka Chopra’s birthday. So, it became a double celebration. The entire unit had a grand celebration on the beach till late into the night.
Sibling revelry
Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra’s sibling characters are based on real-life siblings Farhan and Zoya Akhtar. Zoya Akhtar has so far directed three films. All three star her brother Farhan.
