Farhan Akhtar’s character morphs from a loser to a cool dude in Karthik Calling Karthik. Of course, one clichéd way is to bring in a bike to lend him the required coolth. Farhan is a man of many talents, but riding a bike wasn’t one of them. So he set about learning to ride one and even got himself a licence, thus taking no chances with legalities.
The scene was shot only when Farhan was confident on the bike after a month of practice.A source said, “In the film, Farhan plays a loser who undergoes a change. To show this transformation, there is a sequence where he takes Deepika out on a bike. The major problem was that Farhan didn’t know how to ride the bike and he didn’t have a licence either.”
Sidhwani, the producer of the film said, “The film is about Farhan going from sober to cool. It was important that he looked confident as it worked as a style statement. We did not use a car because a bike would bring out his confident side as this is his first date in the film. So, we gifted him a brand new bike and he took a learners’ licence from the Andheri RTO. After that, for a month at nights, whenever he was free, he would practise riding a bike. Eventually, he gained confidence. After that, he went back to the RTO and got a permanent licence. It took us a month to shoot the scene but we wanted to get it right.”
