'didn't knowthe finale twist until an hour before shoot'
India, Oct. 5 -- Aryan Khan's directorial debut The Ba***ds Of Bollywood has been making waves since its release, especially for the unexpected finale twist. But it turns out the surprise was not just for viewers; even the cast was kept in the dark until the last moment.
Actor Sahher Bambba, who plays leading lady Karishma Talvar, shares, "Aryan was very tight-lipped about the climax. Usne kisi ko bhi nahin bataya tha ki twist kya hai. In fact, the cast was making up our own interpretations. I asked Aryan, 'Does Karishma die at the end? Does Bobby (Deol, actor, portrays her father Ajay Talvar) sir shoot her?' He just asked us to wait. We didn't even know the show's name - it was untitled for the longest time. So, we didn't know what was to happen."
The big reveal, she says, happened on the day of the shoot: "Aryan called all of us to his van half an hour before we shot the finale; he narrated the whole climax and showed us clips he had shot with the crew as reference."
Her reaction to the twist was unsurprising and she recalls, "For the first five minutes, I was gobsmacked. I even asked myself, 'Did I go to Goa to shoot this intimacy workshop to find this out?' We all cracked up and were hoping that the audience would feel the same, too!"
Praising Aryan's directorial approach, the 26-year-old adds, "Whether it took 20 or 30 takes, he would make sure the scene came out exactly as he envisioned. He never had any hierarchy on set, and there was not a single day when he lost his cool. I even asked Shah Rukh Khan sir (Aryan's father), 'How is he so calm and cool?'" she shares, adding, "He is very sharp as a director, but he's also the funniest person in any room. All memories I have of him are of him making everyone laugh."...
