Any incidents that stood out, that you remember?

There was this scene where we have left Mumbai, and are going to a resort. We were required to look very tired, since we had neither eaten nor slept for several days. We shot in a tunnel on the Mumbai-Pune Express Highway.

At that time, the highway was under construction, and we had to shoot in secret. The camera was in the car. While shooting, the highway security people kept coming up to us and asking us what we were up to, and we kept stalling. That entire scene was shot in a car, with the cops right behind us -- the minute it was over, we fled!

The second incident was rather funny, Joy will probably kill me for telling you this! Kay Kay, one of the main characters, is a very moody, violent person. Joy, for his part, carries a magnifying glass, throughout the film. There is this bit where Kay Kay gets upset, grabs the glass, stamps on it, then picks it up and flings it at Joy. Actually, he was supposed to throw it at the wall, but it ended up hitting Joy between his legs, you know, in his groin.

Joy fell down, and was rolling on the floor in agony -- but we didn't realise that. So I kept encouraging him from the sidelines, telling him how realistically he was acting -- until Joy finally roared that he was really hurt! That was when we realised he was hurt -- but anyway, we managed to get his entire 'acting' on camera!
