We redid the latter so he could show off his packs. So we have him baring his body in a song and in his introduction scene. Initially, I had only wanted Sonu to reveal his abs but SRK’s shirtless scene in Om Shanti Om had proved lucky for me. While SRK and Sonu Sood are flaunting their packs, Abhishek Bachchan is looking scrawny… Abhishek plays a good for nothing drunk, so he doesn’t need any packs. The genre is the same, but there have been so many films on pulling off a heist. Isn’t HNY a desi Oceans Eleven? Far from it. I wanted a star who can hold her own against five men. Then, I felt that a newcomer wouldn’t work. Was Deepika Padukone signed because you needed a star? Deepika came on board three weeks before we were to roll. A few days later, Shirish, Sajid (Nadiadwala) and I went and settled the dispute. My brother (Sajid Khan) had called her and she said I should drop by at their house whenever I want. Was Gauri there? No, but she was instrumental in our patch-up. We met in his new house and finalised the deal. After a few days, Gauri (Khan) asked me to fly to London to meet him. Soon after he called to say, “Make a film with me.” I mailed him the script of Happy New Year. Instead, I started reworking Happy New Year, which I was supposed to make with SRK after Main Hoon Na.īut you were still not on the best of terms with SRK then? Just as I completed the script, we sorted out the differences. I was flooded with offers but I refused to sign anything. If you’re not bothered about the box-office, you shouldn’t be making movies. Were you upset over the failure of Tees Maar Khan? No, I was very happy! (Laughs). We kickstarted our rented bike and left for dinner as we had to leave for Kumbalgarh fort early next morning.Who came up with the title? My husband (Shirish Kunder) had written a script on the Khandhar hijack titled Happy New Year. The whole setup of watching live performances in a heritage haveli under the stars is surreal in itself and was one of the high points of our Udaipur trip. This was jaw dropping for the audience and they had a great time which was evident from the hooting and the applause.ĭharohar at Bagore ki Haveli is all about entertainment. The showstopper was this 70 years old dancer who was a part of some earlier performances but flew solo in the end where she danced with her feet on a brass plate and several pots on her head. If you have kids with you on Udaipur trip, you must take them to this show. The puppet show broke the monotony of the dances and provided comic relief. Another folk dance-drama Gavri showed the fight sequence between Goddess Durga and the demon Mahishasur, performed by all men cast. There was another folk performance called “Terah Taali” where the whole music was created by the bells tied to dancers feet and arms. Chari dance performance had dancers with pitchers with fire on their heads. The evening started with the folk singers singing the customary “Padharo Mhare Des” and moved to several folk dance performances that included Chari, Gorbandh and the very famous Ghoomar (After movie Padmavat by women dancers dressed in bright colorful attires. There is an extra charge for using cameras (DSLR and/or mobile) which pinched a little in the beginning but after the show it felt worth it. Just like any live event, the closer you are to the performers the better is the view. This is an alfresco event and most of the people sit on the floor. We had just come back from Nathdwara and were tired but queued up for tickets nevertheless. They start selling tickets around 6 pm and one is advised to take the ticket and go on the terrace to get the best seats. The event happens at 7 pm everyday but we were asked to be there an hour before the show. Initially we thought it’s just a museum but later realised it was famous for a folk dance based programme called Dharohar.ĭharohar at Bagore ki Haveli is a colorful cultural evening of live music, dance and puppetry. We had already heard so much about City Palace but Bagore ki Haveli was new to us. Almost eveybody mentioned City Palace and Bagore ki Haveli. Once we reached Udaipur and settled down, we asked the hotel guys as well as locals about things to do in Udaipur. Due to lack of time and our hectic event calendar in Delhi, we embarked on our trip to Udaipur without an itinerary.
