'They don't trust...' Soha Ali Khan reveals Rang De Basanti makers asked cast members for refunds:

News Topical, Digital Desk : The film Rang De Basanti, starring Soha Ali Khan, Aamir Khan, and Kunal Kapoor, was released in 2006. At the time of its release, people, and even its makers, were unsure whether it would do well.

The makers were not sure about the film

However, two decades after its release, people realized its value and declared it a cult film. They believe that films like this are rarely made. In a recent interview, Soha Ali Khan revealed that the makers of Rang De Basanti asked the cast for a refund because they weren't sure the film would be a success.

The cast was asked to return the money

Speaking to Zoom, Soha recalled, “No one thought it would make so much money, or impact people the way it did. In fact, when we were promoting the film, the producers called and said, 'Can you return some of the money we gave you? Because we're not sure this film will do well.' We all returned the money. We thought, 'Okay, maybe it could happen.' But that film became a movement. For me, it was a turning point in my career. Something I think I'll always remember in my journey.”

The shooting of the film lasted for a year.

Recalling shooting with the cast, Soha said, "We shot for almost a year. We travelled all over India – Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi, Mumbai. It was a very close-knit crew and cast. We would often wait for hours because our cinematographer, Binod Pradhan, would take his time lighting a shot, and rightly so. Sometimes it would take hours, even half a day. So we spent a lot of time together as a unit. Friendships developed, and at the time we thought, 'We'll be friends forever,' but now it feels like we haven't spoken in a lifetime, and later I realised that it just happens."
