Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki co-star Vikram Kochhar reveals how a slapping scene
Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki co-star Vikram Kochhar said the superstar could not control his laughter when a slapping scene was performed too realistically.
Vikram Kochhar played the role of Buggu in the film.
Actor Shah Rukh Khan was left in splits when his Dunki co-star Vikram Kochhar was slapped really hard in a scene. Vikram said he was determined to give a realistic shot and ended up getting hit hard.
In an interview with VS Talks, Vikram recalled how he encouraged his onscreen mother (played by Sapna Sand) to slap him as hard as possible in a scene. The actors ended up making a memorable moment.
Recalling Shah Rukh Khan’s reaction, Vikram said, “Behind the camera, Shah Rukh sir was standing, and he couldn’t control his laughter. On that silent set, the sound of the slap was so loud and there Shah sir is doing (enacts laughter). And he is not in front of the camera, but standing behind it and laughing.”
For Vikram, Shah Rukh’s laughter served as an encouragement. He told Sapna to slap again if needed.
“Ek baar wo maar ke conscious ho gayi lekin pade usne baad 2-3 aur bhi. Maine kaha koi baat nahi badiya hai . Yaha par agar shah Rukh sir hass sakte hai to audience bhi hasegi. Let’s do it. (She got conscious after slapping once, but I got slapped 2-3 times after that. But I felt it’s ok, here if Shah Rukh sir can laugh, then the audience will also laugh), ” Vikram Kochhar said.
Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki is Shah Rukh Khan’s third release this year after Jawan and Pathaan. The film also stars Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani and Vicky Kaushal in pivotal roles.
