Overview
- In a new Radio Nasha interview reported Jan 12–13, Nikkhil Advani said the 'Bole Chudiyan' set alone cost more than the full ₹3 crore figure he had written for the film’s budget.
- He recalled Yash Johar pulling out the budget paper, noting the overspend, tearing it up, and telling the team, "Now, you make the film."
- Advani described a massive, chaotic shoot with about 200 dancers, 300 junior artistes, and specially made jhoomars to achieve a grand look.
- He added that Karan Johar fainted during the shoot, while Kajol struggled to dance due to lehenga issues on the Farah Khan–choreographed number.
- The coverage situates the anecdote against K3G’s legacy as 2001’s highest-grossing Hindi film and a later cult favorite.
