25 Years of Gupt: Bobby Deol reveals Director Rajiv Rai’s master plan to promote the film

Gupt film starring Bobby Deol, Kajol, and Manisha Koirala turns 25 today. Directed by Rajiv Rai, the suspense thriller was one of the most-watched films of that time. The film gained popularity not only for its plot but also for its amazing soundtrack. Some of the famous songs of the film were Gupt Gupt and Duniya Haseeno ka Mela.

While speaking his thoughts about the film, Bobby revealed how the director came up with promotion ideas that no one ever thought of. He said, “Rajiv booked a music channel for a day, and for 24 hours there would be no other commercial or film ads, besides Gupt. Only Gupt’s songs would keep playing. Can you believe that? It was amazing how he promoted the film because it had so much material.”

Further speaking about the song Barsaat from his debut film the actor shared how he rehearsed for the song and narrated an incident. Bobby revealed, “I had to rehearse so much to get it right. We were shooting Duniya… na there used to be no air conditioning in studios those days. I would rehearse so much that I was drenched in sweat by the end of it. And then white patches would be visible because of it. I wore eight-nine pairs of black jeans for that one song. Then I broke my leg while shooting for Barsaat, my debut film, and Gupt was immediately after that. I had an accident on the former’s last day, so Chinni and Rekha Prakash Ji made those hand movements of mine, which became popular as ‘Bobby Deol’s style’!”

Bobby Deol recently received the limelight for his web series Aashram. The third season of the series was released last month on MX player.
