Kaalakaandi marks Saif Ali Khan’s 60th Film! Yes, Saif has spent 25 years in Bollywood already. Some of his most entertaining films are Dil Chahta Hai, Salaam Namaste, Omkara, Being Cyrus, etc.
Saif also turned choreographed for the wedding song Kaala Doreya in the film. He has earlier choreographed a few songs which have become cool steps to follow like Dil Chahta Hai’s famous ‘Who Ladki Hai Kahan’. This time too he taught his fellow actors in Kaalakandi some cool moves!
While shooting for the song “Swagpur ka Choudhary” a breakbeat meets funk rock track with Haryanvi lyrics, the actors found the song difficult to connect with and were not able to bring out the essence of it. That’s when the extremely talented actor, Deepak Dobriyal, who plays a gangster in the film, came to their rescue and turned Haryanvi tutor. He explained the meaning and the feel of the song post which made it easier for the actors to enact.
Actress Nary Singh who is one of the most talked about characters in Kaalakaandi had her fangirl moment. Nari Singh shares screen space with Saif and plays an important role in his part of the story. Nary was absolutely awestruck and extremely nervous while enacting her scenes with him. When director Akshat Verma highlighted this to Saif, he took the time to help her ease out and make her comfortable.
Actor Neil Bhoopalam will be seen playing the role of an underworld don and a sharpshooter in Kaalakaandi. His look in the film resonates the 80’s sense of style with long side locks, bell bottoms, and tight shirts. The actor watched a lot of Amitabh Bachchan movies and tried copying his style for his look in the film.
It will be interesting to watch all these actors play their parts in this dark comedy about life, death, and karma!
