Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty invite India Today photographer Milind Shelte to get click happy
India Today lensman Milind Shelte had made up his mind that today he would capture Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor in his camera lens while they were shooting for Rohit Shetty directed Singham 2 at Hazrat Makhdum Shah Baba Dargah (more popularly known as Mahim Dargah) at Mahim.
Paparazzi photographers never have it easy. Getting those exclusive shots of actors in today's times when most sets are vigilantly guarded by bouncers from security agencies is a Herculean Task.
India Today lensman Milind Shelte had made up his mind that today he would capture Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor in his camera lens while they were shooting for Rohit Shetty directed Singham 2 at Hazrat Makhdum Shah Baba Dargah (more popularly known as Mahim Dargah) at Mahim.
Photographer Milind hid himself inside a local photo frames shop and was secretly trying his best to capture whatever he could. Unfortunately luck was not on his side! He was spotted by a bouncer on the set, who had alerted everybody around. Director Rohit Shetty sent his assistant to look out for our photographer. Milind was summoned to come and meet him.
Next minute, Milind found himself in the thick of the shooting crew. Ajay Devgn, after inquiring our photographer's name and publication told him, "Wahaan se kya photo le rahe ho? Yahaan aakar photo lo." When Milind shot back that he wanted to click his pictures along with the film's leading lady Kareena Kapoor, director Rohit shot back, "Haan lo, Kareena ke saath, abhi uska shot hai paanch minute mein."
Five minutes later Kareena arrived and with absolutely no fuss from either sides (though Ajay had made it clear that he would not pose), Milind went click happy. Soon he had around 75 pics of Rohit Shetty, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn and actor Sameer Dharmadhikari who were all part of the scene on a blazing, hot April afternoon.
It was an amusing situation for the bouncers who were befuddled that the film's leading man and director had themselves invited a shutterbug who was scared to come anywhere nearby to come close on the set and shoot them while in a shot.
Singham Returns is the sequel to the 2011 super hit film Singham, which was a re-make of the South super hit by the same name starring Tamil superstar Suriya. The film is expected to release on August 15 this year.
