Behind the Scenes: Ekk Deewana Tha

“There are lots of moments in the film where Prateik and Amy are on a bike. Instead of setting the love story indoors, I thought it’s best to explore various outdoor options hence the bike also plays quite an important part in the film.”

“Amy, as you may know, doesn’t speak Hindi and even I can’t speak Hindi that well. In fact Amy even speaks English with a very typical Liverpool accent which is hard to understand at times. Here you can see her cracking up at one of my one-liners.”

With Valentines Day around the corner, it's the season for love stories and Prateik-Amy Jackson starrer Ekk Deewana Tha is probably that perfect love story that you would like to watch with your special someone.

So over to you Gautham...

"This is a pivotal scene in the film which we shot at the iconic wonder of the world- Taj Mahal in Agra. Shooting at the Taj is never easy as you need to take a lot of permission. We shot for over 2 days but had to nearly wait 4 hours to start the shoot on Day 1 as it was raining quite heavily when we landed in Agra. In fact it's quite funny, that during the making of Ekk Deewana Tha, wherever we went to shoot, it would begin to rain."

“Prateik is a thinking actor. As a director, you gotto keep talking to him to get the right stuff out of him. So there would be a lot of discussion after shots. He also would always ask for one more take as he would never be happy. I, on the other hand, Read More">believe in justRead More

He also would always ask for one more take as he would never be happy. I, on the other hand, believe in just one take. This is one of the moments where Prateik got it right in the first take itself much to my relief; he was for a change satisfied with his shot."
