Showtime: When Emraan Hashmi and Rajeev Khandelwal performed together; director Mihir Desai says, “What happened on set was a delightful experience”
Talking about it, Mihir Desai said, “Filming a series can be incredibly demanding, so it’s crucial as a showrunner to maintain the morale of the cast and crew. So we always prioritize having fun days that we cherish. One memorable occasion was during the filming of the poster launch sequence with Rajeev and Emraan. Now, according to the script it was Rajeev who had to perform, but I wanted Emraan to groove as well to Armaan’s (Rajeev’s character) famous 90s song ‘Lucky Love’, cause we all know how great it would be to have him and Rajeev both perform together.”
He continued, “The set was filled with 150 crew members, 100 junior artists and dancers and no one had any idea that Emraan would be performing as well. When we started rolling, what happened on set was a delightful experience. Initially reluctant, Emraan eventually joined in when Rajeev, in character as Armaan, pulled him onto the dance floor. This reluctance added to Emraan’s character and that added to the charismatic charm of Emraan Hashmi the actor. It was an improvised moment that felt incredibly genuine, almost like witnessing a live Bollywood event. The cheers of the crowd were all real, we got so involved in watching these two actors kill it on stage that we enjoyed it so much and we wanted more of it.”
