Each one in the cast and crew made every day special. Luckily we had a mix of people who were crazy about music so we all connected through it on some other level. At times, we would be up and singing till dawn, and would have return to the sets to shoot after a few hours."

Ranveer Singh takes off pants for Happy Budday: The Happy Budday song from Kill Dil made Ranveer Singh take off his pants. Happy Budday is the birthday song in the film where Ranveer Singh sings at Parineeti Chopra's birthday party. The song was shot in Lavasa at night and it was very hot, around 40 degrees at that time. Owing to the heat, Ranveer Singh, who was wearing leather pants for the song, removed them as the heat got to him and was making him extremely uncomfortable. A pantless Ranveer was quite a sight for many present and created a huge commotion. 200 girls who were dancers in the song, started cat calling and whistling at Ranveer. Hearing the noise, people came to their windows to see what the commotion was about. People even came out of their houses and down in their night suits to see Ranveer without his pants. People took pictures of Ranveer with his pants off and this further complicated things. The unit had to run around taking everybody’s, cell phones and delete the pictures. However, Parineeti took a picture of Ranveer with his pants down and she has said she would keep it to blackmail him.

Ranveer Singh turns choreographer for Kill Dil: Ranveer Singh has choreographed the song , 'Sweeta' from the film that features him and Parineeti Chopra. The makers got Ganesh Acharya on board to choreograph the song but when they heard the track and got an understanding of which part of the story it was in, they decided to give a free hand to Ranveer. The song shows Parineeti doing several activities throughout the day and Ranveer Singh, who is in love with her, is around her all the time.

Happy Budday shot with 600 cakes: Yash Raj Films always stands out with their marketing and promotional campaigns. The team had sent photo cakes to many friends from the industry informing them about the launch of the song " Happy Budday". It was a new birthday song that Ranveer Singh sings at Parineeti Chopra's birthday party in the film. The song was shot with 600 cakes.

Govinda and Ranveer compete on the sets of Kill Dil: Ranveer Singh has been a fan of Govinda since his childhood. The star goes speechless in front of the superstar and is simply crazy about him. Ranveer will be seen sharing screen space with Govinda in YRF’s Kill Dil, along with Ali Zafar and Parineeti Chopra. The cast and crew had a gala time on the sets. On some nights after pack up, Ali Zafar, who is a brilliant guitarist, would entertain the unit by playing his guitar. Everyone would break into a jig at some point. The songs played were mostly from Govinda’s films to which his biggest fan, Ranveer, would dance the most. One night there was a dance off between Ranveer and his idol Govinda. The unit began cheering and clapping for the two actors. Ranveer put up a great show with his dance moves and infectious energy. But he was no match for the king of dancing and Govinda walked away as the winner hands down. The unit had great fun and the night was truly entertaining.

Parineeti Chopra trains for Kill Dil: Parineeti Chopra underwent special training for golf for her film Kill Dil. Her character in the film demanded her to learn the sport as she will be seen playing golf in the movie. For that, she had to learn at least the basics of the sport. A special person was hired to come and train the actress for the same. While it was only for a couple of shots, she didn't want it to look fake and wanted to perfect it. Parineeti Chopra is looking extremely different in the film. The actress took keen interest in the sport and loved the whole experience of learning even the basics of the royal sport. A spokesperson for Kill Dil confirms the news and adds, “Yes, Parineeti wanted to perfect the way she would give the shot so she got into the basics of the sport.”

Ranveer Singh calls Parineeti Sweeta: While a lot of people around Parineeti Chopra call her Pari, Ranveer Singh calls her with a different name now. Ranveer very sweetly calls Parineeti “Sweeta”. It is a song in their upcoming film Kill Dil. The song just has mad moves and not a specific dance that people can follow. Ganesh Acharya says, "The best part about shooting Sweeta was that we gave Ranveer Singh full freedom in the song. He could do whatever he wanted to. There is no choreography or a signature move as such. But he has thoroughly enjoyed the song, done masti and at the same time brought the romantic feel to it." Ranveer Singh shares, "Ganesh sir was too sweet to let me do my thing for Sweeta. They are not steps as such. I am just having fun in the song. There was no nervous energy; only excitement all throughout." This is the second time that the two actors will be seen sharing screen space with each other.
