SLB
Early on, we agreed that plumbing is overrated. If I can get a shirtless hero pulling the water from a well, why would I need plumbing for my story? Salman called though, he said he has trademarked the shirtless look, Sarasu will have to keep his shirt on. Can we go pantless? My art director says its best to keep Sarasu's bow-legs in hiding.
We had many practical and logistical nightmares during this dangerous fire shoot, it was hard. For instance, should CoolMoods' mom shout "CoolMood Ke Poojya Pithajee" "CoolMood Ke Poojya Pithajee" during fire scenes or simply shout "Help"? In the end we settled on "CoolMood Ke Poojya Pithajee" because its more practical.
We thought Neosporin is outdated, so we used Haldi ka Lep. Sadly the haldi was sitting in the same Masala Dabba next to Mirchi. Sarasu was wincing at the traces of Mirchi burning his wounded palms.
In one scene, Sarasu's polyester pants caught fire. We had to strip it off and ask Monica Bedi to take off her pants for Sarasu. Speaking of black pants, we are on a tight costume budget. We decided Monica Bedi's character and Sarasu can share the same black pants. In retrospect, it was a good decision.
The background score lyrics fits very well with our entire concept. The lyrics consist of 4 words,
"Eee Rii Pee Yaa"
The lyrics have hidden meanings, "Eee Riii" rhymes with Eerie meaning creepy. So the relationship will start off very weird. "Pee" is not what you think, it means drink in Hindi, so they will drink the water of their love. Today's well water symbolized it further. And in the end, it will be collective moans of "Yaa" for Samud.
The doctors office shots were done in my signature blue and dull scenes. Instead of the heroine running long distances with flowing duppatas, this time, we broke the mold and had her bicycle. We had trouble hiding the training wheels on CoolMood's bicycle but I think the end result looks stable enough.
The family doctor is Natulal Chandwarkar. Maternity and Nursing Home survival is quite tough in the village. I think we will highlight that tomorrow. CoolMood and Sarasu will set up Cyber Hospital ' yeah,May be they will even do Cyber Shaadi and Cyber S**. That's a brilliant idea! Gotta go script it in.
Thank you for interviewing me. I hope Samud clear their misunderwear soon. Keep Watching.
