Farah Khan Recalls Mithun Chakraborty Causing Stampede on Om Shanti Om Set
The song 'Deewangi Deewangi' from the film Om Shanti Om featured over 30 A-list stars, including Shah Rukh Khan. Director Farah Khan recalled that when veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty arrived on set, his presence caused a stampede, with a woman fainting and a lightman leaving his post to meet him. During filming, Mithun playfully tapped Shah Rukh on the head when he struggled to follow dance steps, a moment kept in the final cut. The song remains a notable star-studded sequence in Indian cinema.
