Recollecting her experience of shooting the song, Sara Ali Khan said, “Working with Vijay was an absolute privilege. He’s such an effortless actor- and brings so much spontaneity to every scene. It wasn’t difficult to have chemistry with him because of the ease that Homi sir created on set. Everyone was relaxed, professional and totally in the scene. The chemistry that people are appreciating is just us trying to do justice to what Bambi and Akash felt for each other. And as soon as we heard action we went from being Vijay and Sara to Bambi and Akash.”

 

Adding to this, Vijay Varma continued, “On paper it is a simmering romance - the unspoken unsaid undercurrent type. But on set, Sara and I were the opposite of it. Always cracking jokes and goofing around with each other, so I never imagined that the two of us could actually have a sizzling chemistry. But during one intense passionate scene, when I least expected it, Sara was so deeply into her character, she pulled me in as well and we gave a hot take! I realised only when two actors share a comfortable bond and let go of their inhibitions can they create passion and chemistry. We’re both super excited that now everyone’s talking about it now. We finished the hot scene and went back to goofing around and leg pulling immediately!”

 

Talking about his experience working with Sara Ali Khan and Vijay Varma, director Homi Adajania said, “Once Sara and Vijay inhabited their characters, they realised that they had such an intense backstory that their chemistry would be inevitable. They play childhood sweethearts who are grappling with an unrequited love story - it’s fractured and full of longing and regret. Oftentimes the anticipation of making or even professing love is sexier than the act itself and this very state of anticipation is what the characters constantly find themselves in.”

 

Murder Mubarak also starring Karisma Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Dimple Kapadia, Tisca Chopra, Suhail Nayyar, among others, is expected to premiere on March 15 on Netflix.
