Main Tera Hero turns 10: Did you know Varun Dhawan’s ‘Swaami’ dialogue was initially removed by David Dhawan? Here's why
As Varun Dhawan-Nargis Fakhri-Ileana D'Cruz starrer Main Tera Hero completed 10 years today, the movie's writer Milap Zaveri has revealed exciting insights from the sets.
Varun Dhawan’s popular 2014 comedy Main Tera Hero completed 10 years on April 4. Social media is filled with people celebrating the big milestone and movie writer Milap Zaveri has joined the similar bandwagon. Directed by David Dhawan, the movie also starred Nargis Fakhri and Ileana Dcruz as the leading ladies.
Varun Dhawan’s ‘Swaami-Haraami’ dialogue was removed from the initial script
Main Tera Hero shined bright because of its witty dialogues which were written by Milap himself with Tushar Hiranandani. Zaveri earlier today took to his social media handles and shared some throwback pictures from the film's promotional events. Zaveri in his post recalled Varun wanting the iconic lines, "Main dikhta hoon sweet innocent swami type ka, lekin hoon bahut bada haraami type ka," in the final cut.
An excerpt of Milap’s post detailed, “@varundvn was absolutely MINDBLOWING as Seenu! What a fantastic performance he gave! And I must give him credit for ensuring the “Swami-Haraami” line stayed in the film! Yes! David sir had edited it out at script level to reduce the length of the scene but @varundvn called me a night before shoot and asked me to message the line to him! Next day he said it in the shot without David sir’s knowledge and the rest became history!”
Milap in his long note also made special mentions to David Dhawan, Ekta Kapoor, Rohit Dhawan, Anupam Kher, Sajid-Wajid, and the rest of the cast. Varun Dhawan reshared Milap's poster in his Instagram story and wrote, "Years always remember these amazing memories."
Nargis Fakhri celebrates 10 years of Main Tera Hero
For the unversed, Nargis played the character of a gangster businessman’s daughter Ayesha Singhal. In a media byte, Nargis expressed her gratitude for bagging the movie and shared, “Time flies by so fast! It feels like it was just yesterday when we shot the film. I had a great time working with director David Dhawan, and my co-stars Varun Dhawan and Ileana D’Cruz. It is rare that a film like Main Tera Hero comes by and keeps you laughing throughout. We have spent some great moments shooting the film, and I will always cherish it. I am glad to have secured the opportunity to play a fun and lighthearted role as Ayesha Singhal after playing grim and intense roles in Madras Café and Rockstar. Ayesha Singhal allowed me to unload the heaviness and intensity from my previous characters and helped me to connect more with the audience.”
