Abhishek Bachchan Reveals Aishwarya Rai's Ingenious Solution for His
Tue January 28th, 2025
During his time working on Guru with Mani Ratnam, Abhishek Bachchan told an intriguing story at a media conference. He recalled that while they were lodging in a guest home during the filming, the director approached him and requested that he practice with the choreographer, Brinda Gopal.
The actor recalled responding by pointing out that the song was not intended to be filmed, but rather the younger version of Gurukant Desai. However, when Bachchan collapsed, he noticed the choreographer confused and knew the director had flung one of his "googlies."

The King actor revealed that the rough version of the song Ek Lo Ek Muft, which was composed by AR Rahman and sung by Bappi Lahiri, had arrived that morning. He referred to it as a "click track" for filming, as it lacked the complete music.
“He had previously given me two months to gain weight. That night, I still remember that Ameira (costume designer Ameira Punvani) and Aishwarya made a fat suit for me by stitching kambals (blankets) together. Then they took some shady gray stuff and put it on my hair. He (Mani) was like, ‘shave your head.’ I said, ‘But we are still shooting the younger portions.’ Amid all this, I was performing to a click track," remembered Abhishek.
He also jokingly mentioned that Rahman had finished and transmitted the entire song by the time they were prepared to film the scene with Aishwarya Rai's dance. “Then she started dancing, and I was standing there thinking, ‘What is happening?!’” reveals Abhishek.
The actor continued by recalling the harsh shooting environment, where he was forced to wear a fat costume by Mani Ratnam in temperatures as high as sixty degrees Celsius. “It was summer, and we were shooting in stone caves. In that song, you can actually see the rubber from some of the dancers’ shoes melting onto the stones,” he revealed.
