Other bachpan ke saathis who have enjoyed working together are Hrithik-Farhan, Tusshar-Kareena, Ajay Devgn and Tabu, who have wrapped up the Drishyam schedule, talk of how they had a blast during shooting. These two grew up in the same vicinity of Juhu. Tabu’s cousin Sameer Arya and Ajay, or VD (short for
Vishal Devgn) — as she calls him — have a bagful of memories to draw from.
The two friends say that shooting for
Drishyam was a breeze because every evening they’d sit down together and keep pulling out embarrassing and funny incidents from their teens. Tabu recalled how Ajay’s strict father
Veeru Devgan would often keep asking her where Vishal was, or why he had come home late the earlier evening. A sheepish Ajay would sweetly apologise for putting her, Sameer and their other friends in a spot all those many years ago.
READ: Ajay Devgn: I won’t do a film with even the biggest director now unless I am convincedIt was a constant “VD, yeh yaad hai?” or “Tabu, do you remember this?” banter which the friends regaled the other crew members with. Tabu and Ajay have also worked in films like
Vijaypath,
Haqeeqat and
Thakshak in the early phase of their careers. So they had many anecdotes to mull over even from that period. Other childhood friends who also have many reference points from their growing up years are
Hrithik Roshan and
Farhan Akhtar. These two worked beautifully together on Farhan’s Lakshya and though it was alleged that there was a little awkwardness between them when Duggu dropped out one of
Zoya’s earlier films, the two friends rediscovered one another during the making of
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. In fact, Hrithik is currently rooting for Zoya and Farhan’s
Dil Dhadakne Do, a film that he has only heard good things about.
Another set of close friends who have known one another for the better part of their lives, is
Tusshar Kapoor and
Kareena Kapoor Khan. The two stars who worked in his first film
Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, remember how they had lost touch with one another for a while when Tusshar was away in America for Masters. But they rediscovered their friendship on the set of
MKKH and
Jeena Sirf Mere Liye, and from then on they have looked forward to working together. “During the
Golmaal series shoots in Goa, we would often step out for a meal in the evenings,” says Tusshar, adding, “Bebo is one of my close friends, so working with her has always been delightful. There are so many memories that I have strung together of our 20s.”
