SRK, crew survive on biscuits for a week

 

A crew of over 200 people, including cast members Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone and director Rohit Shetty lived on biscuits for a major part of the week during the shoot of Chennai Express. "This was during an elaborate schedule at Dudhsagar, Goa," informs a unit member adding, "There was a major train sequence that had to be filmed on location and we had to be present at six in the morning every day. Since this involved a train that passed through a bridge at a fixed hour, we had to work on very tight timelines."

It wasn't just waking up early which proved to be their nightmare. "The cook had to begin making  preparations at two in the night. When it was finally time for lunch ten hours later, it didn't remain fresh at all," recollects the unit member. The matter was then discussed with SRK since the shoot would last for a week. This is when it was decided that entire crew would have to survive on biscuits.

"SRK took the first step and we procured tons of biscuit packs of varied variety. Everyone skipped their regular day meals for almost a week.  They understood that there was no other way out," says Rohit Shetty.
