Dhruva Sarja, Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, Reeshma Nanaiah, director Prem and producer Suprith attended the teaser launch of their Pan-India movie KD – The Devil at a multiplex in Mumbai. Shilpa Shetty was in her element as she spoke about the film and a lot more.
Shilpa Shetty raises laughs at KD – The Devil teaser launch: “Teaser pe itna paisa kharcha kaun karta hai?”; also opens up on language controversy: “Aapka mic bandh kiya hai…”
Shilpa Shetty began by saying, “When I was approached for the film, I had declined as I had a lot on my plate. Then while doing action for Rohit Shetty (for the 2024 web series Indian Police Force), I had an accident and I was in a wheelchair. But Prem sir was adamant that only I should play the part. Since they were so insistent, my manager suggested that we ask them for a narration. They started to narrate and by the time, they reached the interval point, I forgot that I had a fracture. I stood up and I said, ‘I want to do the film just for this one scene’ (laughs)! I also told Prem sir, ‘Satyavati ko main hi play karungi’. This is the first time in cinema, not Bollywood or Tollywood, but in cinema on the whole that you’ll see a character like Satyavati!”
She added, “I am returning to Kannada cinema after 18 years. I always say that I am Karnataka’s girl. Hence, there’s always a special affinity towards doing Kannada movies. Kya cinema banate hai! Sone pe suhaga was that I had an actor like Sanju. I can’t forget the day he had a 102-degree fever. At that time, the makers were shooting a rain scene. It went on for 6-7 days. You could have made a whole film in that much time. Every day, this man would be in that whole wet outfit and do action. He’s so dedicated. That’s why he is the one and only Sanjay Dutt.”
Sanjay Dutt smiled and quipped, “Lekin main chhatri leke khada toh tha!” Prem got carried away and ended up sharing more about the said scene. Realizing it might be a spoiler, he stopped himself, further adding to the laughs.
Shilpa Shetty also joked, “I don’t understand that teaser pe itna paisa kharcha kaun karta hai? Itne mein picture ban sakti hai! Venkat sir (producer Venkat Narayana Konanki), if you are hearing this, thank you for the money!”
Shilpa on the language controversy
Shilpa Shetty and Sanjay Dutt were asked to comment on the language controversy brewing in Maharashtra and other states. A straight-faced Shilpa Shetty said, “Iske baare mein Sanju bolenge!”
Sanjay Dutt, meanwhile, stated, “Pehle toh main samjha nahin ki aap kya bolna chah rahe ho! Can you please explain to me, that too in simple, clear words?”
The journalist attempted to do so and she added that her mic is not working. Shilpa Shetty remarked, “Aapka mic bandh kiya hai!”
The journalist claimed that such treatment meted to her was not fair. At this point, Shilpa Shetty said in Marathi, “Mala Marathi mahit aahe. Mee Maharashtrachi mulgi aahe (I know Marathi. I am Maharashtra’s girl). But today, we are here to talk about KD – The Devil; you are changing the topic and speaking about a controversy. Hum uska badhaava nahin karenge.”
She also added, “This is a multi-lingual movie. We can also dub it in Marathi,” to end the discussion.
