Mithun Chakraborty Caused Chaos on 'Om Shanti Om' Set
29 Sep
Summary
- Mithun Chakraborty's arrival triggered a stampede on the song's set.
- A woman fainted, and a lightman jumped from his position to see Mithun.
- Shah Rukh Khan struggled to match Mithun Chakraborty's dance moves.
The filming of Farah Khan's song 'Deewangi Deewangi' for 'Om Shanti Om' was marked by an extraordinary event when Mithun Chakraborty arrived. His presence on set caused such an overwhelming response that a stampede ensued among the crew and attendees, with one woman even fainting. This real-life commotion was so significant that it was incorporated into the song's visuals.
Khan recalled the intense fan reaction, noting it occurred before Chakraborty's prominent role in 'Dance India Dance.' The excitement was palpable, affecting even the technical crew, like a lightman who jumped from his post. Additionally, during the dance sequence, Shah Rukh Khan found it challenging to replicate Chakraborty's unique dance moves. This moment of the veteran actor playfully tapping Shah Rukh Khan's head was humorously retained in the final cut.
Released in 2007, 'Om Shanti Om' notably featured Deepika Padukone's debut and a star-studded lineup in its music videos. The film itself, a narrative of reincarnation and love, follows an aspiring actor in the 1970s and his rebirth as a superstar seeking justice.
