New Delhi, March 11 (NationPress) Do you recall the electrifying and vibrant celebration track “Goli maar bheje mein” from the iconic film Satya, showcasing Saurabh Shukla in a fun-loving and slightly tipsy demeanor among a spirited crowd? The National Award-winning actor has revealed some amusing and intriguing stories about the song, which also involved an unexpected "interrogation."

In an interview with IANS, Saurabh reflected on the song's shoot back in 1998, when filming songs in Hindi cinema typically consumed several days.

“To understand the context of the Kallu Mama song, you must consider the era when the film was created. Back then, it was customary for film songs to take at least 3 to 4 days to shoot. Larger, more elaborate songs could take up to 10 to 15 days,” he explained.

“So, if a song was generally expected to take 3 to 4 days, how many days do you think this one took? Surprisingly, it was filmed in just 5 and a half hours,” Saurabh added, noting that the song encapsulates the raw, street-style essence of Mumbai’s underworld, filled with spontaneous dance and chaotic enjoyment.

Saurabh further revealed that the filming utilized a “single-camera setup.” He remarked that the process had an authentic, unrestrained energy as it was not meticulously choreographed.

“It wasn’t a multi-camera setup. We only used one camera, leading to this wild atmosphere. It was completely unscripted, like a free-for-all,” he described.

He reminisced that the production provided real beer as props during the song shoot, which also starred Manoj Bajpayee and Makarand Deshpande.

“The highlight was that they supplied real beer for the shoot. Of course, we didn’t drink it since we were working; we weren’t foolish. We refrained from drinking,” he clarified.

Once they finished filming in just a few hours, the crew decided to celebrate at Saurabh’s residence.

“Interestingly, after those 5.5 hours, we wrapped up and were all set for the party at my house.”

However, their journey was momentarily halted.

“I had a car, so everyone piled in, including all the main actors like Manoj and Aditya Srivastava. We were on our way when suddenly, our car was stopped.”

“(I had a car, and all the main actors got in. Manoj, Aditya Srivastava, and several others were there. We were driving when suddenly, our car was halted.)”

Saurabh disclosed that they hadn’t even changed out of their costumes and were heading straight to the party when their vehicle was unexpectedly halted.

“Aur hum logon ne costume change nahi kiya tha, usi costume mein ghar ja rahe the (We hadn’t changed our costumes and were heading home in the same outfits.)”

“The officer opened the door and exclaimed, “Baap re! Andar kya poora ka poora bhatti laga rakhi hai tum logon ne? (Oh my God! What have you set up inside? An entire distillery?)”

He quickly reassured them that none of them had been drinking.

“We replied, ‘No sir, we haven’t consumed anything.’”

Saurabh chuckled: “He responded, ‘What do you mean you haven't been drinking? Your car reeks as if there’s an entire distillery in here!’”

Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, Satya features J. D. Chakravarthy, Urmila Matondkar, and Manoj Bajpayee, alongside Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Shrivastava, and Paresh Rawal. This film marks the beginning of Varma's gangster trilogy focusing on organized crime in India.

The narrative follows Satya, an immigrant who arrives in Mumbai in search of work, befriends Bhiku Mhatre, and becomes enmeshed in the Mumbai underworld.
