BLAST FROM THE PAST: When Satish Shah Had To Undergo 'MULTIPLE RETAKES' Because Of Shah Rukh Khan For The Famous 'SPITTING' Sequence In 'Main Hoon Na'!
The 2004 movie Main Hoon Na, starring Shah Rukh Khan, is among the popular movies of the superstar. Even after all these years, the audience still adored all the characters in the movie, which was a huge commercial triumph. Satish Shah's portrayal of Professor Madhav Rasai made him one of the most remembered characters.
Satish Shah portrayed the hilariously short-tempered and spit-talking character. The seasoned actor recounted a fascinating incident from the days of the filming. The performer admitted that although SRK persuaded him to play the part, he was hesitant to accept it.

Satish Shah revealed that after playing that character, he began referring to himself as "spitting cobra" in an interview with Bollywood Bubble. He also described how he and Shah Rukh Khan filmed the spitting scenes. “Let me tell you, I had to practise a lot. It was not a trick photography. I was given a choice, and SRK is a very smart guy. They said we have two roles, one is of Principal, and the second one is of Professor Rasai. When I asked about the latter, they said, ‘every time he speaks, he spits, he celebrates so much that you know it comes out enough in the form of espresso,‘” the veteran actor said.
The seasoned actor claimed that he drank water before every scene, and occasionally he would exaggerate so much that the water would spray out. “I used to take in a gulp of water and keep it around my mouth and then certain words and certain syllables I used to accentuate in such a way that it sprays. Aur wo main itna mehnat se karta tha ki Shah Rukh badme hass deta tha toh retake ho jata tha. Aise 8 retakes ek baar huye wo classroom me. Main fir bhadak gaya, maine kaha ki main iske baad nahi karunga and everyone is laughing, they are falling off the chair and I think it is there in one of the YouTube videos. Then I gave another shot and waha pe bhi usne hass diya tha so they had to insert Zayed Khan’s scene kyuki waha bhi usne hass diya tha. It was very difficult to keep a straight face and do these things but hota hai aisa sab,” he said.
