Band Baaja Baaraat (2010) was something of a breakthrough smash. In the shape of Ranveer Singh, the film also handed the business one of the most dynamic and passionate performers ever. And this is his first movie in Indian Cinema Industry, and it was also Anushka Sharma’s second.
The soundtrack (who can remember the cheerful Ainvayi Ainvayi?) was indeed a key cause for the tremendous response and buzz established well before the premiere. The narrative revolved around Bittoo Sharma (Ranveer Singh) as well as the aspiring, powerful Shruti Kakkar, and then was primarily shot in Delhi.
Here are some fun facts about the movie that you probably didn’t even know:
1. Ranveer was not the director’s first pick! Ranbir Kapoor was the one who declined.
2. So when the movie was just being filmed in Delhi, a throng happened to come to observe whose movie was just being made. Some assumed it must have been Ranbir Kapoor, while others have been left speculating who that was because Ranveer Singh was hardly unknown to the public! Also after starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Anushka Sharma was unfamiliar to many. The officers who were dispatched to protect the settings grumbled about having to stand outside and in the cold while the celebrities were unknown.
3. In an interview with GlamSham, Ranveer Singh stated, “When we were shooting in the DDA market in Delhi, there was a huge crowd gathered to see the shoot. And there was a liquor store there. It was situated in such a place, that the crew was blocking its way. After some time, the owner came up and said I have lost so much money because of you! What the hell are you doing? My business is going down! Everyone was trying to control him. The direction team tried to plead to say, we are just going, we are just about to finish. But he was not budging. Then I went up to him, and said, “Please sir, meri pehli film hai”. And I’m not sure what possessed him. Unexpectedly, he melted! And added that, “Oh bhai, tuney kya baat kehdi. Ab tu shooting kar! Saari raat shooting kar!”
4. The movie was shot at a number of prominent locations in Delhi, such as the Delhi University Northside. The sequence in which Ranveer, as well as Anushka, eat bread pakora underneath a bush was filmed at Hansraj College’s Lover’ Corner, wherein Shah Rukh Khan (alumni of the institution) is said to have proposed to his fiancée Gauri Khan.
5. It’s really the thing of fantasies how Ranveer Singh got the role. Shanoo Sharma, the movie’s casting director, phoned him 7 times, however, he didn’t reply since he had been on a date! Ranveer eventually realised the seriousness of the issue when she sent him a voicemail stating, “Adi Chopra audition.”
6. The movie’s initial name was said to have been Shaadi Mubarak. The allegations had become so strong that the filmmakers seemed to have no choice but to intervene and clarify that perhaps the title of the film is just not that.
7. Once Ranveer was cast, he visited Aditya Chopra, the movie’s distributor, and was informed,
8. The movie was very well received upon its original release that it has been subsequently reproduced in Tamil and Telugu titled Aaha Kalyanam, featuring Vaani Kapoor as well as Nani.
