As the Gujarati film 'Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate' prepares for its Hindi release, moviegoers are eager to know more about the film as 'Laalo' became the first Gujarati film to cross Rs 100 crore. Here are some unknown facts you must know about the Gujarati blockbuster.One of the most loved characters in Laalo is Tulsi. What many people do not know is that actress Reeva designed Tulsi’s entire look by herself. She did not wait for a stylist. She trusted her feeling. Reeva shared this on the Jalso podcast. She said she reached Junagadh just one day before shooting started. The very next day, she took full control of Tulsi’s look. She chose the clothes. She picked the accessories. She decided the style.She said, “They told me to do whatever I felt was right.” This freedom helped her connect deeply with the character. She wanted Tulsi to look simple, calm, and full of devotion. The look matched the heart of the film.One small detail stood out. The bright yellow hair clip. Reeva herself chose it. That small clip later became a strong symbol of Tulsi in the film. Many viewers still remember Tulsi because of that simple look. It showed that even small choices can leave a deep mark.Actor Karan Joshi, who played Laalo, shared a very honest memory from his early days. This story shows how far the team has come. At one promotional event, Karan spoke about a time when life was hard. He said that he and director Ankit Sakhiya once did not even have Rs 45. Karan loves tea. One day, they stopped at a tea stall. They ordered tea. When the bill came it was Rs 45. They did not have the money. It was a small amount. But at that moment, it felt big. Karan shared this story with a smile. Today, the same film team has made history. From not having Rs 45 for tea to making a Rs 100 crore film the journey was not easy.Actor Shruhad had one of the toughest emotional journeys in Laalo. He played Krishna. But just two days before shooting, he wanted to quit. Director Ankit Sakhiya spoke about this on the Voice Of Yours podcast. He said Shruhad broke down and cried. Shruhad said, “I can’t do this. I can’t play Krishna. You told me everything. But how do I do it?” Shruhad felt that playing Krishna was not like playing any other role. He felt scared. He felt unworthy. He said if it was any other character, he could manage. But Krishna felt too big.Ankit did not lose faith. He told Shruhad that the look would be simple. The camera would focus on the face. He said with confidence, “You will do it for sure.”Ankit also tested Shruhad’s patience. He said, “I had a script but no hero.” First, he told Shruhad he was not the main hero. Later, he told him he would get the main role. Ankit said he wanted to see his patience. And Shruhad stayed.That fear later turned into strength. Today, his performance is deeply loved.
