Rajpal Yadav talks about Chup Chup Ke
In an interview with Mashable India, Rajpal Yadav revealed that some of the cast members of Chup Chup Ke hit him for real during its shoot, and director Priyadarshan had to intervene. The scene in question involves his character, Bandya, being misunderstood as he doesn’t know Gujarati. His words are mistaken to be teasing a lady. After this, her relatives arrive and start beating him.
He said, “When they all came to beat me, 2-3 of them slapped me for real. I told Priyan ji (Priyadarshan) about it. Toh fir unhone samjahaya sabko ki sach mein nahi maarna hai (That is when he instructed everyone that they should not hit me for real). So, you must have noticed in the film that when they come to beat me, the frame freezes.”
