Today, Vishal Punjabi, also known as The Wedding Filmer, is a legendary name in the wedding videography industry. However, before floating his business, he worked for a decade at Shah Rukh Khan’s production house Red Chillies. Vishal, who worked as a line producer in the 2004 blockbuster Main Hoon Na, opened up on the experience of working with Farah Khan and what he learned from SRK.
He revealed that the director was a strict taskmaster on the sets, but she also taught him many things.
He revealed, “She made me develop a very thick skin when we worked together.” He also added that she’s genuinely funny, and has a bagful of brilliant ideas.
“I have been beaten by her a lot, but I also learned so much from her. I knew nothing about filmmaking. She gave me a break and taught me how to do a shoot,” he said. She didn’t have to do it, she had access to the best crew in the world,” he added.
Praising SRK’s kindness towards his crew, he revealed how thoughtful he was towards his employees and that there were delicious free lunches in the studio. He then admitted this helped him be more understanding and generous towards his own employees.
“It saved us a lot of money and time.. I learned how to ensure your crew is paid well and creatively motivated. I learned that from him. I try to do my best with people who work with me.”
Farah Khan is currently on hiatus as a director. Over the past few years, she has seamlessly transitioned into the digital space, carving a distinct identity as a beloved online personality. Known for her infectious humour and unfiltered charm, Farah has become a constant presence on reality television, and more recently, a sensation on YouTube. Her cooking vlogs have become a huge hit, and her chef, Dilip, has become an Internet sensation.
