It took four days to film the song 'Khol De Dil Ki Khidki' where Saif, Riteish and Ram Kapoor pretend to be women for the forthcoming laugh riot 'Humshakals'. Apart from the fun and frolic and length of the shoot sequence, turning into women made the actors view women in a whole new light, that of respect and some bit of wonder.
"I have dressed up as a woman for the first time for a film, and now I have developed a new found respect for women for all the preparations they have to go through," says Saif who plays the role of three Kishore in the film.
Thanks to Sajid and his mad cap brand of humor, the entire shoot sequence at an exotic beach of Mauritius turned out to be so much fun and laughter for the crew and the actors that he decided to complete the song in four days instead of a packed three days shoot.
"I am really thankful to Saif, Riteish and Ram for being such great sports. It was only after I went to Saif's green room to narrate his sequence and saw him dressed as woman, I simply could not stop laughing as it was such a hilarious sight," admits Sajid. He was also informed later on by his crew members that few of the locals who had gathered to see the shooting of the song could not stop hitting upon the female avatar of Saif and Riteish.
The shooting of the song also brought out the comical side of Saif as he often teased Ritiesh, on the sets, of being the best female co-star he has ever worked with. In the song sequence Ram Kapoor gets to romance his own feminine self, and Saif and Riteish romance each other, typical of the hilarious confusion that Humshakals promises to deliver.
"The entire make up process was very tedious as it required sitting in straight positions to get our waxing done apart from the rigmarole of changing into women's attire for the shoot", says Riteish who plays the role of three Kumars in the film.
