Tum Se Tum Tak Gossip: The Curse of October 14th

Reliving the worst day of your life over and over is a great plot device, but apparently, it's a nightmare to film! Welcome to your daily dose of tum se tum tak written update telly updates gossip. Today, we are diving into the hilarious, yet exhausting reality of shooting a time-loop series.

The Wardrobe Monotony

If you regularly follow our telly updates written updates, you know that because Ananya keeps resetting to the morning of October 14th, the actors have to wear the exact same outfits for weeks on end. zee tv telly updates insiders reveal that the wardrobe department had to create twenty identical copies of Ananya's blue kurta and Vikram's grey suit just to deal with wear and tear.

The lead actress recently joked on her Instagram, "If I have to look at this blue kurta one more time, I might actually ask Vikram for a divorce myself in real life! I haven't worn a different color on set in two months."

The Dreaded Rain Machine

The biggest source of on-set complaints, however, is the climax of the loop. Every tellyupdates written episode ends with Vikram storming out of the house into a massive rainstorm at 8:00 PM before the accident occurs. This means the actors have to shoot under heavy, freezing rain machines multiple times a week.

Gossip from the set indicates that the crew now calls the rain machine "The Punisher." Because they have to shoot different variations of the scene (Ananya running after him, Ananya staying inside, Ananya trying to block the car), the actors are constantly soaking wet. They apparently go through dozens of towels and gallons of hot tea every single night shift.

The Continuity Nightmare

Filming a time loop is also a massive headache for the continuity department. The script supervisor has a giant whiteboard tracking exactly which "loop" they are currently filming, because the actors constantly forget which version of the argument they are supposed to be having.

In a recent blooper reel leaked to the crew, the lead actor started yelling a line from Loop Two, while the actress responded with a line from Loop Four, leading to a confusing, hilarious improvisation where they both broke character and asked the director what timeline they were currently in. Despite the exhaustion of the rain machines and the confusing continuity, the cast remains incredibly tight-knit, often bonding over their shared trauma of living in a perpetual October 14th!
