Vipul
Shah"s
decision
to
shoot
the
last
song
of
London
Dreams
in
Bhandup
in
a
makeshift
maidaan
representing
a
rock
stadium
turned
out
to
be
quite
traumatic.
To
begin,
the
woes
in
the
middle,
when
Salman"s
dog
passed
away
during
the
shooting
of
the
song,
the
actor
broke
down
and
wept
like
a
baby.
But
he
didn"t
cancel
the
shooting.
Nonetheless
this
could
qualify
as
the
most
difficult
climactic
song
ever
shot.
Vipul
Shah
recently
shot
the
final
rock–concert
number
for
London
Dreams
in
Bhandup
near
Mumbai
with
5,000
junior
artistes
cheering
Salman
Khan,
Ajay
Devgan,
Asin
Thottumkal,
Ranvijay
and
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor
who
play
members
of
a
music
band.
Says
Vipul,
“We
were
struck
for
the
last
song
because
of
the
rains.
And
then
because
of
swine
flu,
we
weren"t
allowed
to
shoot
in
crowds.
But
I
had
no
choice.
The
song
couldn"t
be
delayed."
Remo
choreographed
the
song
and
Rahat
Fateh
Ali
Khan
and
Shankar
Mahadevan
sang
the
track.
Says
Vipul,
“We
couldn"t
get
the
stars
fans
to
fill
up
the
open-air
auditorium,
for
the
very
simple
reason
that
in
the
earlier
concert
songs
for
London
Dreams
we
had
seen
how
unruly
the
fans
get
when
they
see
their
favourite
stars
dancing
in
front
of
them."
On
top
of
it
all,
the
practical
problems
faced
during
the
shooting
of
this
massive
song;
the
stars
were
all
busy
elsewhere.
“Salman
was
shooting
for
10
Ka
Dum.
He
requested
them
to
postpone
their
shooting
for
two
days.
Ajay
was
supposed
to
start
Priyadarshan"s
shooting
on
those
days.
He
asked
Priyan
to
push
his
dates
forward.
Asin
was
doing
an
endorsement
down
south.
Ranvijay
was
shooting
for
another
film
in
Delhi.
He
flew
both
days
and
flew
back.
And
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor,
who
was
shooting
for
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali"s
Guzaarish,
also
accommodated
my
song."
To
compound
Vipul"s
troubles
Salman"s
dog
died
during
the
shooting.
“I
thought
he
would
leave.
But
he
continued
shooting."
Though
the
experience
of
putting
the
climax
song
together
turned
out
to
be
a
nightmare,
Vipul
is
undeterred.
“I"ve
relieved
my
non-core
group
of
technicians
for
my
film
Action
Replay
from
their
duties
for
now.
When
we
regroup,
they"re
free
to
join
us.
Akshay
Kumar
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
have
promised
the
dates
whenever
we
need
them.
If
the
actors
are
committed
to
a
project
nothing
can
stop
a
film
from
reaching
the
winning
post."
