‘Unbelievable’: Punit Malhotra opens up on shooting Tiger Shroff’s debut song amidst Covid-19 restrictions

Tiger Shroff, finally made his singing debut as he unveiled his single ‘Unbelievable’. The actor has been sharing his excitement by sharing pictures on his social media handles. As soon as he began working on the song in May, the actor called his ‘Student of the Year 2’ director Punit Malhotra, requesting him to develop the music video.

Talking about the song Malhotra says, “I wasn’t surprised when Tiger said he has sung a song; he has a lovely voice. I was kicking myself because I should have displayed his singing skills in ‘Student of the Year 2’.”

Excited to reunite with the leading man of his college caper after over a year, the director also feared shooting in the midst of the pandemic. “Initially, we were scared at the idea of going back to work. But once we did, it felt like a reunion of old friends. As the director, I was doubly vigilant and adopted safety measures over and above those stated by the government. Tiger Shroff was a source of support. His constant reassurance — ‘Punit, we will get by this’ — helped me,” shares the director.

Armed with a crew of 40 members, the actor-director duo shot the music video over three days at a five-star hotel in Lower Parel. “Since the hotel was in lockdown, it was the most sanitised place we could have shot at. We chose a theme that didn’t need a big team. At the same time, we ensured we did not compromise on the scale. We explored a tender romance between two hotel staff members,” shares Punit.
