Saif Ali Khan was nervous during the shooting

Suraj Barjatya said some time ago that Saif Ali Khan was very nervous during the shooting of the film. At that time Saif was going through a bad phase in his career. Suraj had said, ‘When films do not work, the actors are a little shaken. Due to this, Saif was also nervous. For the first time he played such a big role, that too with such big actors. He lived in a lot of pressure, worked very hard. He used to repeat the script lines again and again.

Saif did not sleep at night for fear of shooting

Suraj had told that during the shooting of the song ‘Suno Ji Dulhan’, Saif had to act of Mahesh Thakur and Alok Nath. Because of this, Saif could not sleep all night. Suraj had said, ‘I had asked Amrita (Saif’s first wife) why he is not able to act properly. Then Amrita told that Saif does not sleep all night, see the glass and keep wondering how they will do all this.

Then I asked Amrita to give some medicine to Saif and put them to sleep. Then the next day a changed avatar of Saif was seen and he gave full shot in a single tech.
