I have a Roku, and one of the weird free channels is called Indie Crush. It had the documentary about Omi Vaidya, the NRI villain of 3 Idiots. These friends of Omi's from LA followed him to the premiere of 3 Idiots and caught that exact moment when an unknown became a star. They faked press passes for the red carpet, and then stayed to film all the way till his debut and comedy win at the Star award ceremony. It was wild to see the craziness of 3 Idiots take over India day by day.
I loved how Omi told the story of auditioning for the film on a whim for one of the leads, and his Hindi was so bad that they just stopped him. But then said, come back tomorrow, we're writing another... |
