A big fat business merger... We mean... Wedding... A big fat Indian wedding is planned in an exotic castle in Europe, by Kamla Arora, grandmother of the Arora family, with the son of Bipin Fandwanis (Pankaj Kapoor), a loud Sindhi businessman, and what ensues is roller-coaster madness. Cradled in the backdrop is protagonists Aliya (Alia Bhatt) and Jagjinder Joginder's (Shahid Kapoor) love story, minutely observed by Alia's on-screen father Pankaj Kapoor. The journey of Aliya, Jagjinder Joginder and Bipin in the chaotic and lavish wedding composes the story of 'Shaandaar'.
The young actors recently launched the trailer of their upcoming and it's already got people drooling. The short clip ends with the young Bhatt flaunting a svelte body in a bright pink bikini. “I worked very hard for a bikini body. I and Shahid used to train together in the gym. I also followed a strict diet to get a bikini body. Also, my bikini shot was not supposed to be an elaborate one. It was initially just supposed to be me in the bikini. But since I worked so hard, Vikas said, 'Shot le lete hai accha wala.' I am happy that you liked it,” Alia said in an interview.
Director Vikas Bahl said the bikini scene was shot on one of the coldest days and both the actors braved extreme weather conditions to shoot the scene. “It was the coldest day when we were shooting that scene. Shahid also had to run into the water. So, when the camera started rolling, they would remove their clothes for precisely 10 seconds and run into the water.”
