Tamannaah Bhatia recalls working with Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan: ‘He rehearsed continuously for two and a half hours'
Recalling the experience, Tamannaah mentioned performing with Salman Khan during the Da-Bangg The Tour Reloaded in Dubai, where they danced to the popular track 'Munni Badnaam'. In an interview with The Lallantop, she was shown a photo from that memorable performance. Reacting to same, she said, 'The one and only Salman. It's a picture from Dubai. He is so inspiring. When I saw him on the tech rehearsal, he was on the stage without stopping for two and a half hours.'
Tamannaah added, 'The music was on, other people were entering and leaving the act, he was continuously there, I don't know how. To stand on the stage for so long, it needs a lot of energy. When he did the tech, I understood that it's such a long process.'

Tamannaah Bhatia collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan on an ad film for an online clothing brand, as well as a commercial for another brand's ethnic wear collection. When displayed a picture of the duo, she instantly smiled and said, 'The one who has made us know what love is. I remember that we shot an ad film and Shah Rukh took a photo with each and every person. There were around 200 people on the set on that day; he took a picture with everyone.'
The host was quick to ask why she called Ajay Devgn 'sir' but didn't do the same for Shah Rukh Khan. 'When I met Ajay, I have a memory from when I was young. Humesha uss age mein, vo point vahin par atak jaata hai (You get stuck in that particular time loop). I have a memory of him from there, that's why I call him 'sir'. I worked with Shah Rukh much later.'
On the professional front, Tamannaah Bhatia was last seen in Sikandar ka Muqaddar, opposite Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill. She has Odela 2, Amazon Prime Video's Daring Partners, and director Jagan Shakti's next in the pipeline.

To mark the occasion, Shetty took to his social media to share a special throwback photo, celebrating the film's enduring success and expressing gratitude for the love it continues to receive from audiences over a decade after its release.

Throwback to Rohit Shetty talking about Deepika Padukone's character in 'Chennai Express' In a conversation with casting director Mukesh Chhabra on Mashable India, he revealed that when they started shooting, Deepika was coming off a few flop films and needed some time to get into the role. He said, 'It took a long time… In comedy especially, it takes a while to crack even established actors. We started shooting with Deepika, we shot for four days, and on the fourth day, she started getting a hang of the accent. Actors are usually conscious about how they are coming across, it's only when they shed these concerns that they start performing."

Then she started enjoying it, and that's when it went to a different level,' he added.
