In a recent vlog, Indian filmmaker Farah Khan and actor Murali Sharma took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, discussing their experiences while filming the iconic 2004 movie ‘Main Hoon Na’. The casual cooking session turned into a lively conversation about the challenges and humorous incidents that occurred on set.
Behind the Scenes of ‘Main Hoon Na’
Farah Khan’s directorial debut, ‘Main Hoon Na’, featured a star-studded cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, and Suniel Shetty. During the vlog, Sharma, who played the antagonist, shared his first day on set, which proved to be a reality check. Coming off a serious role in ‘Maqbool’, he attempted to infuse a method-acting approach into his performance.
Memorable Stunt Mishap
Sharma recounted a particularly chaotic stunt scene where he was rigged to a harness and instructed to exit a vehicle while floating up to the first floor. Due to the rudimentary safety equipment of the time, he clutched the car door for stability. When the stunt crew activated the wires, the door was ripped off, sending both Sharma and the door soaring into the air, much to the amusement of the crew. Even Shah Rukh Khan couldn’t help but laugh when he later watched the playback.
Friendship and Memories
The vlog also highlighted the long-standing friendship between Sharma and co-star Ashwini Kalsekar, who reminisced about their 25-year relationship. Before becoming a prominent figure in Bollywood and South Indian cinema, Sharma worked as a journalist, showcasing his diverse background. Ashwini humorously recalled his confident demeanor during their early days, which matched her own as they collaborated on various television projects.
