Imtiaz Ali’s one of the most celebrated movies has to be Love Aaj Kal. Released back in 2019, the film led by Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone is still cherished for its beautiful storyline complimented by ever-so-iconic tracks. The hook step of one of the super hit tracks from the film, Twist, became a rage. But on 15 years of Love Aaj Kal we bring an interesting trivia revealing the hard work that went into creating it.

When Saif Ali Khan had to take 47 steps to ace hook step of Twist song

All the movie enthusiasts are sure to remember grooving to the iconic track, Twist, pictured on Saif Ali Khan. The song from Imtiaz Ali’s directorial Love Aaj Kal was sung by Neeraj Shridhar and composed by Pritam. The lyrics were written by Irshad Kamil and Style Bhai. Meanwhile, the memorable hookstep of the song was created by none other than the renowned choreographer, Bosco Martis.

Alongside the post, he made an interesting revelation, stating that it took them 47 takes to perfect the step. However, the third take finally made it to the final edit.

The popularity of the film can be ascertained from the fact it encouraged makers to bring its sequel nearly after 11 years with Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan in 2021. Despite the soul-stirring music and marketable similar title of the second part, the film couldn’t perform well at the box office.
