NEW DELHI: Remember the high-energy, rustic celebration number “Goli maar bheje mein” from Satya, featuring Saurabh Shukla in a carefree and tipsy avatar amid a lively crowd? The National Award-winning actor has now shared some interesting yet hilarious anecdotes about the track, which also included an "interrogation."
Talking about the shoot of the song to IANS, Saurabh said that when the film was made in 1998, songs in Hindi cinema usually took several days to film.
“The Kallu Mama song, you have to understand the context of the time when that film was made. In those days, there was a tradition, a set precedent, that film songs were shot for at least 3 to 4 days. Big, elaborate songs would take 10 to 15 days to shoot.”
“So, if a song was supposed to take 3 to 4 days, how many days do you think this one took? It was shot in exactly 5 and a half hours.”
“It was shot in 5 and a half hours, ” Saurabh told IANS about the track, which captures the raw, street-style vibe of Mumbai’s underbelly, with spontaneous dancing and chaotic fun.
