00:00It will go down in history that Rangeela was a film that brought a complete transition of songs.
00:06We were stuck there.
00:12It was Akshay.
00:13What did Akshay do?
00:14He had told me,
00:15I am doing a film called Suhaag.
00:18At that time Akshay said,
00:19I have an introduction piece in this film.
00:21He said, you can do it.
00:22So he said, let's take a music piece.
00:24We took a music piece, an English song.
00:26We made him a Baywatch character.
00:28Instead of red underwear, we gave him blue.
00:30And I remember in the bathtub, we put oil on his body.
00:33At that time, we didn't have bronzer and all.
00:37And he was like the charming Punjabi guy.
00:39Red, red.
00:40We applied oil and we did that sequence.
00:43It was so good.
00:44He was somersaulting in the room.
00:46He was applying powder.
00:47Blowhead. Dry.
00:48So we did the heroine's part on Akshay.
00:55See Salman, I had done Jume Ki Raat.
00:57With him, the idea is that whenever he dances,
01:00whatever work I've done with him,
01:01he's never bothered.
01:02He says, give me whatever, I'll do it.
01:04He's got his swag.
01:05So I did that.
01:06Like this.
01:08That it's getting hot.
01:12And from that, it's getting hot.
01:14And from there, it became a step.
01:15And then I told him, go completely.
01:17And he did it.
01:19He said, do whatever you want.
01:22Welcome back to the jungle.
01:24Nana Partikar said,
01:25that there's no story in it.
01:27There's no fun in it.
01:28That's why I didn't do it.
01:29So what were we shooting?
01:33We're going on set and roll camera.
01:35I don't know.
01:36That's what's happening.
