Akshay Kumar himself had told in one of his interviews how the shooting of films of the 90s was not the same as it is today.
Today a huge amount of money is spent in the production of Bollywood films. Every little thing is planned in advance and the makers ensure that things appear on screen exactly as they are imagined. But everything was not always like this. Akshay Kumar himself has told in one of his interviews that how the shooting of expensive films of the 90s used to be in a more Jugaadu style than today’s YouTube videos. When Akshay Kumar was promoting his film ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, he told what kind of times he has seen with director Ahmed Khan.
Fan’s car seen in the film
Akshay Kumar told that the car seen during the shooting of the title track of the film ‘Aflatoon’ was not specially ordered for the shooting. Akshay Kumar told that the car was just passing by. Akshay Kumar told that when he came to know that the man was his fan, he asked him, can I dance on your car for five minutes? On this he said dance. We then climbed onto his car and recorded the dance and also the rest of the scenes around that car.
Akshay survived being beaten many times
Akshay Kumar told that at many places we are left getting beaten. We used to enter inside the building and shoot inside it. Akshay Kumar told that the watchman used to come running after seeing us shooting without permission and we have also kept that shot in the film that he is coming to kill us. When he hit me, we also included that shot in the visual of the song. But doing all this was a lot of fun at that time. It is known that the film Aflatoon was released in the year 1997.
Story and Rating of Aflatoon
Although this film did not do well, its songs and scenes were very much liked at that time. The IMDb rating of the film is only 4.7 and if you have not seen this movie then you can watch it on OTT platforms Jio Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video. Apart from this, this movie is also available on YouTube for rent. Talking about the story, it is the story of a petty thief who falls in love with a girl. The twist in the story comes when his lookalike (who is a killer) starts blackmailing him.
