Spoof put on hold

Yes, it got shelved, but only for four hours. Before you jump to conclusions, let us tell you that we are talking about Afsha, Sparsh and Ali Asgar’s version of 3 Idiots that was shot for the Christmas Special episode of Laughter Ke Phatke.

Yes, it got shelved, but only for four hours. Before you jump to conclusions, let us tell you that we are talking about Afsha, Sparsh and Ali Asgar’s version of 3 Idiots that was shot for the Christmas Special episode of Laughter Ke Phatke with Ali playing Aamir, Sparsh as Madhavan and Afsha as Sharman.

First, Afsha’s mother threw a fit and brought the shoot to a standstill after being made to wait for hours for it to start in the first place. The producers somehow managed to pacify her and resume shooting. Then it took many retakes and four hours to pull it off perfectly. Ali showed patience and trained the kids to learn their lines and ape Sharman and Madhavan to perfection. It was worth all the trouble at the end of it!
