Remember cult comedy 'Delhi Belly' starring Imran Khan, Vir Das and Kunaal Roy Kapur? The movie released more than a decade back, but it still has immense recall value. In the latest entertainment news, Imran Khan took to Instagram to share some behind-the-scenes images from the shooting of 'Delhi Belly', and he said that he never thought that the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) would pass the film. For the unversed, 'Delhi Belly' was backed by Aamir Khan Productions and UTV Motion Pictures. The film was given an 'A' certificate for the use of profanity and sexual content.
Imran Khan shared the images on Instagram, and he called 'Delhi Belly' a "once-in-a-lifetime" movie.
“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," he wrote on Instagram.
“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,” he added.

"Three of us shared a van situation for a year of our lives. I’ve seen the two of you in your underwear more than I’ve seen any other men before or since. All that aside, it really was this magical place where everyone felt lucky. And it was an honour to be in the trenches with you two,” Vir Das commented on the post.
'Delhi Belly' was directed by Abhinay Deo and it earned rave reviews upon its release.
The film also starred Poorna Jagannathan and Shenaz Treasurywala.
'Delhi Belly' was one of the few hits of Imran Khan's career. The actor's last feature film appearance was in 2015 in 'Katti Batti' alongside Kangana Ranaut.
