Dil Chahta Hai is an iconic film and still holds a huge fan following. Farhan Akhtar’s directorial debut starred Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna, and Preity Zinta in the lead roles. Well, Suchitra Pillai, who was also part of the film, became popular for her role as over possessive girlfriend. Recently, she revealed behind-the-scenes memories from the film and how she was scolded by Farhan Akhtar.
Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Suchitra Pillai said, “It was fun shooting for this film. Most of my scenes were with Saif and I had one big scene with all of them before the song “Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe,” which was shot at a nightclub. It was super fun and Saif was always fun. All these guys wearing tight leather pants… it was a good sight for me. I remember in one of the scene before the song when Aamir comes and sits on the chair beside me and Saif said something in my ear. He said, ‘Haan, I know where you are looking.’ I burst out laughing immediately after that and Farhan started screaming. He said, ‘What are you laughing about?’ But how can I say what I am laughing about. But we had so much fun.”
Critically, Dil Chahta Hai garnered positive reviews, with some believing that it broke new ground by introducing a realistic portrayal of Indian youth. Dil Chahta Hai has received several accolades upon release, including two National Film Awards and seven Filmfare Awards.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Farhan Akhtar is back to his directorial chair with one of the most anticipated and big projects, Don 3. The film will see Ranveer Singh taking the Don reboot franchise forward after Shah Rukh Khan played the beloved character in the previous two instalments of the franchise. Fans of the franchise had mixed responses about the casting. While some held that there could not be a Don film without Shah Rukh, others pointed out that Shah Rukh had also faced similar criticism when he took on the role after Amitabh Bachchan and ended up nailing the character.
