For
the
shoot
of
the
title
song
of
Tum
Mile,
the
cast
and
crew
was
required
to
be
stationed
on
the
sets
for
three
straight
days.
The
number
required
Emraan
Hashmi
and
Soha
Ali
Khan
to
be
amidst
a
celebration
which
was
based
on
Obz
Festival
which
takes
place
annually
in
Cape
Town.
This
is
an
annual
street
festival
in
Cape
Town,
South
Africa,
where
musicians,
artistes
and
entertainers
come
together
for
a
3
day
non-stop
hysteria.
In
the
beginning,
it
all
sounded
like
fun
to
begin
with,
especially
since
it
was
a
party
song
to
be
shot.
There
were
flaming
shots,
jager
bombs,
playing
pool,
fun
dressing
-
all
being
perfect
ingredients
of
a
party
which
could
well
keep
party
goers
up
the
whole
night.
However,
for
Emraan,
Soha
and
the
crew
of
Tum
Mile,
it
was
not
just
party,
but
also
loads
of
work.
In
the
end,
it
all
became
tiring
as
the
first
night's
shoot
came
to
an
end.
This
is
when
director
Kunal
Deshmukh
hit
upon
an
idea.
Instead
of
asking
his
actors
to
'get
into
the
mood'
for
a
party
sequence
only
when
the
song
was
being
canned,
he
actually
put
up
an
actual
party
for
three
nights
in
a
row.
Says
Emraan,
"We
were
so
exhausted
that
we
just
couldn't
get
our
energy
up
for
the
shoot.
That's
when
Kunal
suggested
that
we
start
having
a
party.
The
shots
you
see
me
and
Soha
having
are
diluted
but
real
shots
made
by
a
real
bartender.
There
were
flaming
shots,
jager
bombs,
shooters
-
of
different
colours
and
flavours
-
which
we
drank.
At
the
end
of
it,
we
ended
up
a
bit
tipsy!"
"Since
the
song
is
high
on
energy
and
everyone
had
to
look
very
happy
and
bubbly,
Emraan
and
Soha
-
who
had
been
continuously
shooting
from
Cape
Town
-
were
tired
on
the
very
first
night.
That's
when
we
stumbled
upon
the
idea
of
actually
having
the
'party'
during
the
shoot",
Kunal
confirms.
He
goes
on
to
add,
"I
wanted
to
shoot
the
song
in
the
actual
Obz
Festival
in
Cape
Town,
but
we
were
denied
permission.
So
we
went
to
this
festival,
clicked
pictures,
shot
videos
and
then
recreated
the
entire
festival
back
here
in
Mumbai.
If
you
were
to
show
this
to
someone
from
Cape
Town,
you
could
make
him
believe
that
this
is
a
real
Obz
fest!!"
Soha
Ali
Khan
is
plain
amused
on
recollecting
the
sequence
of
events
that
took
place
which
led
her
to
become
tipsy
in
reality
as
well.
"We
dressed
garishly,
played
pool
(where
I
beat
Emraan
by
the
way)
and
got
a
bit
tipsy
on
the
shots.
It
was
tiring,
but
I
think
this
is
truly
one
song
I
have
enjoyed
shooting",
she
laughs,
"Kunal
made
sure
that
we
actually
freaked
out
during
the
shoot
to
capture
the
vibes
and
just
be
ourselves.
Many
people
have
complimented
on
how
great
the
song
looks,
and
how
good
Emraan
and
I
look
good
together,
but
I
think
credit
would
go
to
Kunal
to
come
up
with
the
idea
of
having
a
party
right
on
the
sets."
A
Mukesh
Bhatt
production,
Tum
Mile
is
all
set
to
release
on
13th
November.
