Deepak on Ghulam

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Deepak said, “As per the scene, I trip on the tracks while running. I freeze and this is when Aamir pulls me out. Now we are used to this thing that ‘Gaadi ka driver brake maar dega time pe (The driver will apply brakes on time)’. We expected the motorman to do the same.”

“But he told us, ‘Dekho, mere paas aisa brake nahin hota hai. Tum log yeh mat sochna ki main brake maarunga aur gaadi ruk jaayegi. Tum log please distance rakhna. Accident nahin hona chahiye (I don’t have such brakes. Don’t think that I will apply brakes and the train will stop. Please keep distance. An accident shouldn’t take place)’. Aamir and I look at each other in fear and were like ‘Oh my God’. We rehearsed a couple of times to understand how much time the train takes to cover a distance.”
