Kunal Kemmu was in his element as he launched the trailer of his debut directorial, Madgaon Express, today in Mumbai. He opened up on the tagline of the film, ‘Bachpan ke sapne. Lag gaye apne’ when he was asked whether he had a ‘lag gaye apne’ moment in life. Kunal narrated a shocking and amusing episode that left everyone in splits.

Kunal Kemmu said, “It was a time when I had acted in two films. Since we could afford it by then, me and my three friends decided to go to Goa by air. I booked a suite in an expensive hotel as well. My friends were too excited as it was their first time in a suite.”

He continued, “At night, we decided to go for partying. We all got dressed. One of my friends didn’t get a gel and hence, he decided to apply coconut oil on his head. But he was not able to get the oil out (of the bottle). It was stuck. He was standing in the middle of the room and we were all dressed in suits. He kept pressing the bottle. Achanak se woh bottle fatt gayi! Saara tel hamare kapdon pe aaya aur deewaron pe bhi chala gaya. It resulted in huge stains on the walls. I imagined hotel staff beating us up in slow motion!”

Kunal Kemmu couldn’t control his laughter as he further said, “We all removed our suits and wore boxers. For the next 1 ½ hours, we decided to clean up the mess. We sent one friend to get small Surf sachets. Humne deewar ghisni shuru ki (laughs). We ordered several towels; we didn’t care if hotel staff would think, ‘Yeh 4 ladke tauliye pe tauliye kyun mangaaye ja rahe hai’! We used the bathtub to make foam water. We thought we’ll be saved. Unfortunately, the affected area on the wall turned into ‘papdi’. We had to compensate and had to apologize several times.”

Kunal Kemmu was joined by the film’s actors – Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, Nora Fatehi and Chhaya Kadam – along with co-producer Rucha Pathak. Madgaon Express releases in cinemas on March 22.
