\u201c10 saal baad isi station pe vaapas aayenge. Aaj hi ke din\u2026 Aayega? Aayega?\u201d For Bollywood buffs, these words would be an instant reminder of an inebriated Chatur \u2018Silencer\u2019 Ramalingam venting his angst after being tricked into delivering a double entendre-laced monologue, in 3 Idiots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI remember thinking how hard it would be to interpret the speech the way it was intended, sans Rancho\u2019s indecent alterations. I remember thinking how difficult it would be to play the speech straight with cameras rolling and a full house rolling in their seats. And then flash, I remember it all being over and everyone loving it, even the lighting crew who rarely stick around to watch the action,\u201d he recounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 3 Idiots speech is so iconic, Omi reasons, is \u201cbecause rarely does a movie scene reach such hilarity and provide such satisfaction that it can be rewatched countless times. I can\u2019t tell you how many messages I receive from people around the world telling me how the scene has brought them so much laughter and joy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRarely do you get to play a character that people love to hate,\u201d adds the US-based actor. The memories bring a smile to his face. Omi recounts that the Rajkumar Hirani directorial happened serendipitously when he auditioned for it in 2007 courtesy a friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film was, as he says, a \u201croller-coaster ride\u201d which changed his life \u201cforever\u201d. For a quick dekko at how it felt for Omi to \u201cgo from a struggling actor to a household name\u201d, he suggests viewers watch his documentary Big in Bollywood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
