Unlike most filmmakers who are cancelling their shoots due to the downpour, the team of Chaalis Chaurasi did not have any such issues. “Not a day of our schedule has been cancelled because of the rains. I know it sounds strange, but the rain just stops as soon as I reach the sets and have to start shooting,” laughs Hriday, who is legendary fight composer, late MB Shetty’s son and half-brother of director Rohit Shetty. He adds, “A lot of people might wonder why I am using a rain machine during monsoons, but it just doesn’t rain while I am shooting. I’ve had to use a rain machine for all our rain scenes.”

Chaalis Chaurasi explores a humour crime genre. Shetty explains, “It is like a roller coaster ride in an amusement park, except that it takes place in a police van. The story of the film revolves around four cops played by Naseeruddin Shah, KK Menon, Atul Kulkarni and Ravi Kishan, who see an opportunity for a great future when they are assigned a mission. But things take a twist when another cop stops their van en route and takes them as his backup to catch a dangerous gangster.” The film is written by Yash-Vinay and the music in the film is by Lalit Pandit.
