Actor Imran Khan, who quit acting in 2015, shared an interesting anecdote from his 2011 films ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' and ‘Delhi Belly. Imran took to Instagram, where shared a few "retro pics" from the sets of ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' (MBKD), which also features Katrina Kaif, and ‘Delhi Belly'.

He wrote, "Once upon a time, there was no Instagram… so people used an app called Hipstamatic to add retro effects to their photos! Here's some retro pics from the sets of MBKD, along with a story; I remember working some wild double shifts for the song ‘Do Dhaari Talwaar'."

He revealed that he shot the song ‘Do Dhaari Talwaar' for four consecutive nights and during the day he was shooting for the track of ‘Delhi Belly.'

"It was shot over 4 consecutive night shifts, while I was also spending the day shifts shooting the music videos for ‘Nakkaddwaley Disco' and ‘Switty' from Delhi Belly at the same time! I would sleep in my car, while being driven between the two sets. Hectic, but totally worth it."

‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' is Ali Abbas Zafar's directorial debut. The film stars Imran Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ali Zafar, and Tara D'Souza. In the film, Dimple Dixit and Luv Agnihotri are due to get married, but difficulties arise when Dimple and Kush develop feelings for each other in the days leading up to the wedding.

Ever since, Imran Khan announced his plans on returning to the movies, the actor has been sharing old pictures from his film sets. Recently, he also shared pictures from 'Delhi Belly' set and wrote his thoughts on it. In one of the photographs, Kunaal Roy Kapur and Imran can be seen posing for the camera while Vir Das is looking away from it. The other picture has Imran showing his look test. While posting the snapshot ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' actor wrote, "No sob stories, and no excuses here. I freaking LOVED Delhi Belly. Every single day that we worked on that film, I was sure of two things; first, that it was a once-in-a-lifetime movie, the kind that you feel lucky to be a part of. And second, that there was no way the censor board would ever let us release this thing. I'm glad I was only wrong on the second count! Here's a look at the makeup test for my swollen eye, and a picture of the boys doing some "method acting" as part of pre-production. Just to make the characters more believable, obviously. @virdas @realkunaalroykapur"
