Badlapur Celebrates a Decade: Nawazuddin’s Silent Role and Varun Dhawan’s ‘Oops’ Casting – Behind the Scenes Tales!

Namaste Bollywood buffs! Can you believe it’s been a whole decade since ‘Badlapur – Don’t Miss The Beginning’ hit the screens? Time flies faster than Varun Dhawan can break into a dance move! Let’s dive into the spicy, lesser-known masala behind the making of this epic thriller.

So, here’s a fun tidbit to get you started: our very own method actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who played the infamous Liaq Mohammed Tungrekar, was given a blank slate with no dialogues! Haan bhai, no lines! Director Sriram Raghavan gave Nawaz the freedom to improvise, making his performance as unpredictable as a Mumbai traffic jam! 🎭

And for all you music lovers, remember the iconic ‘Jee Karda’ track? Well, it almost got the boot! Sriram Raghavan wasn’t keen on the song’s music video being part of the film, but producer Dinesh Vijan insisted it stay. Acha hai, warna hum kya karte without that epic track to groove to?

Now, let’s talk about the film’s intriguing title. ‘Badlapur – Don’t Miss The Beginning’ was not just a catchy phrase but a creative necessity! With another flick called ‘Badlapur Boys’ already out there, the makers had to add a little something to stand apart. And voila, the memorable tagline was born!

Oh, and did you know the title ‘Badlapur’ was just a working title at first? But the team loved it so much it stuck around like a Bollywood hero’s iconic catchphrase!

Speaking of heroes, Varun Dhawan’s casting as Raghav Purohit was nothing short of a happy accident. Imagine this: Sriram narrates the film to Dinesh, and suddenly, Varun drops by. Sriram, looking for feedback, narrates the script to Varun, who gets so excited that he starts calling Sriram every day to discuss scenes! Talk about being at the right place at the right time, haan?

Kiran’s Gyan: In Bollywood, dialogues might be optional, songs are debatable, and titles can be accidental, but the drama? Bas, woh toh must hai! 😎

Stay tuned for more filmy gupshup, and remember, in the world of Bollywood, kabhi bhi kuch bhi ho sakta hai!
