New Delhi. Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade is coming with his new film ‘Kartam Bhugatam’ after recovering from heart attack. There is about a week left for its release and these days he is busy promoting the film. Meanwhile, Shreyas Talpade has shared the experience of working with Shahrukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’ (2007). He told how Shahrukh Khan was planning to promote ‘Om Shanti Om’ in a hotel washroom in London.
In an interview given to Siddharth Kannan, Shreyas Talpade told that during the shooting, Shahrukh Khan had told him that ‘Om Shanti Om’ has to be made the biggest film of 2007 and we will do whatever has to be done for it. The actor said, ‘We were in the washroom of a hotel in London. Deepika Padukone was giving an interview outside. There is a premiere in the evening and he (Shahrukh Khan) says that you will do one thing and I will dance on the red carpet with my songs. We will attract as many people as we can.
Complete promotion plan prepared in washroom
Shreyas Talpade said, ‘He never takes anything lightly. He doesn’t think that if I am Shahrukh Khan then people will definitely come. He believed that his film had to reach as many people as possible. He was sitting on the pot and I was sitting on the bath tub. We were waiting for Deepika Padukone’s interview to finish, then one of us would go out and give the interview.
Complete schedule told by 11 pm
The actor told, ‘He reached my room at 10.30 at night and knocked the gate. At that time Deepti (wife) and I were preparing to sleep. I thought that the room service person had come to give a water bottle, but when I opened the gate, Shahrukh Khan was standing in front. He said will he keep it standing outside only? After this he came inside the room and told us the complete schedule for the next day and what we had to do. Where is the press conference, what kind of activities do we have to do, everything. Shahrukh Khan was planning all this in a hotel room in London till 11 pm. People think that someone from Shahrukh Khan’s PR team will come and plan all this, but it is not so, he had made the entire plan himself.
‘Om Shanti Om’ became a blockbuster 17 years ago
