Nawazuddin did the film for Rs 2500
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the experienced actors of Bollywood. Today his fees are in crores, but in the initial days very little money was offered for films. He was promised Rs 2500 for the film ‘Shool’. He played the role of a waiter in the film. Nawazuddin’s voice was also dubbed for this role. However, even after the release of this film, Nawazuddin could not get recognition.
Sayaji Shinde got recognition
The main attraction of the film Shool was its villain. Sayaji Shinde played the role of villain in the film. He left a deep impression on the audience right from his first film. It is said that his character was based on Bihar’s strongman leader Mohammad Shahabuddin.
Shilpa’s song is still a superhit
The song ‘UP-Bihar Lootne’ from this film proved to be a chartbuster. Shilpa Shetty made the song even more beautiful with her dance. Another interesting thing about this song is that it was not choreographed. Shilpa danced on this song of her own free will on the instructions of choreographer Ahmed Khan.
Ram Gopal Varma changed the fate of his assistant
The film ‘Shool’ has been directed by Ishwar Niwas. In his initial days, he used to work as an assistant to Ram Gopal Varma. It is said that in those days he used to serve tea to people in the director’s office. However, Ramu had faith in him from the beginning. This is the reason why he handed over the command of the film ‘Shool’ to Ishwar Niwas. He fulfilled this responsibility well and made an excellent film. After Shool, he also directed films like ‘Love Liye Kuch Bhi Karega’, ‘Dum’, ‘Bardasht’, ‘De Taal’ and ‘Total Syapa’.
