Ishaqzaade: Behind the scenes images


During the shoots of one of the songs titled 'Chokra', the temperature in Barabanki, UP dipped drastically. Arjun was to wear a wet vest and Gauahar a tiny blouse. Everybody was worried as to whether they would be able to manage. But ultimately the two of them completed the shoot on time and received a standing ovation from the unit.

While performing a running sequence in Barabanki, UP, Arjun Kapoor suffered a very serious spasm in his hamstring muscle which caused him great pain, but in spite of that he finished the shot in a jiffy after just five minutes of rest.

Parineeti Chopra got a bad viral attack while shooting in Lucknow. The doctors advised her not to shoot for at least three days due to severe weakness but she insisted she shot as she knew there were location availability issues. She like a true professional finished all her shots for the day and only then went back to her hotel.

There was a string of 5 days when shooting could not start on time due to excessive fog and bad light. The entire unit would reach the set on time as per the call-sheets, get ready and then wait. Quite a few of the unit members would channel their energies into cricket, others would break into songs … the fog delayed the shoot but brought the unit-members closer.

It was a joke on set that Habib Faisal’s favorite on the set was Pradeep, who was playing Banwra, an accompanist in Chand Baby’s entourage. Whenever he was in frame with Arjun, Parineeti or Gauahar, Habib would first brief him, and then the rest. Also on the dinner table, Habib would be constantly talking about Banwra. Arjun would jokingly act very upset about this.
