Comedian-actor Bhuvan Bam opened about his experience while shooting while Shah Rukh Khan for the first episode of Titu Talks, where he recalled about the incident when he gave a head massage to the latter. Bhuvan also stated that Khan was elated to shoot for the segment and simply agreed to go with the ideas suggested by him. In the cue of promoting his film zero, SRK arrived as a guest on the show.
In a conversation with Baradwaj Rangan, Bhuvan averred that, “I was sweating, I had just removed the Titu wig and I had really long hair, and I didn’t know how to go about it. It was impromptu and it was also the first episode of Titu Talks and Titu Mama as a character was just a month old. I was figuring out how to bring out the character and somehow we got Shah Rukh sir on the first episode. I was like how are we going to do this?” He continued, “I’ve never asked people to subscribe. I thought this is the right opportunity to tell him to subscribe and why not with a massage.”
Bhuvan further added, “So I asked if I could sit between his legs and ask him to say ‘Subscribe to Bhuvan’s channel’ But then he went on with it, and it kept going on for a while till he finally said, ‘We’re done now’.”
The Gentlemen Show in which Bhuvan was spotted with Ankush Bahuguna, had elucidated on how SRK managed to complete that very episode in just one shot. He said, “Uss admi ki mahanta hi yahi hai ke, it was a 7-8 page script and it was a complex shoot. Unko maine ek narration diya and we did it in a single take, aur champi ka idea tabhi aya and I never told people to subscribe to my channel, uss din mujhe laga, agar first-time ye bol dein, maine kaha, ‘apke sath toh nahi baith sakta, apke pairon ke niche baith jata hun aur naturally champi dene lagey,’. I was so in awe of that guy. Titu Talks has become a priority because no one can say no as he (SRK) has done it. (The best thing about the man was that it was a 7-8 page script and a complex shoot, I gave him the narration and we did it in a single take and then I got the idea for a massage. I’ve never asked people to subscribe to my channel, but that day I felt that I should say it for the first time. So I said, ‘I can’t sit with you, but can I sit at your feet and he naturally began to give me a massage).”
Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in upcoming array of films slated to be released on 2023, namely., Pathaan, Jawaan and Dunki. With these three films the star will be back on the field of cinema after a gap of 5 long years. He was last seen in Zero alongside Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.
