Exclusive: Farhan Akhtar turns bathroom singer for Dabboo Ratnani

It’s again that time of the year when ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani shoots the top stars in the country for his annual calendar. What is lovely to see is how almost every star is happy to do this for Dabboo given Dabboo’s talent and more importantly, his sweet nature which makes him loved by one and all.

Not just that, don’t miss out on Farhan’s Pink suit, the selection of which we believe from Dabboo, Farhan had a huge role to play in. So, don’t be surprised if we now find men dressed in Pink suits, courtesy Farhan Akhtar.

Jacqueline Fernandez
Jacqueline’s towel look, which is all about having a blast post shower, is very sexy. It’s high energy. You can go raunchy and sexy, but in this case, it is about being sexy and having a lot of fun. Once the shoot got over, my wife Manisha and Jacqueline wanted me to jump like her and I did try my best! For a picture where you have to capture a person in motion, you have to use a different kind of lighting. It’s difficult for the actor because she has to get the expression and the jump together. For the photographer too, he has to gauge the height right. So, a great amount of coordination is required between the model and photographer.

Hrithik Roshan
With Hrithik, it’s a lot more impromptu. He is open to experimenting. This time, we took him to an old car at a dilapidated garage in Jogeshwari. Hrithik trusts me so much that he doesn’t ask me for the concept or the location. When he landed at this garage, which is about to shut down, his first reaction was, ‘What’s this place? I have never been here before!’ Then we got down to shoot and it went off so well. The mood and ambience of the place totally add to the picture.

Priyanka Chopra
We shot this picture with PC in the middle of the night because she has been very busy with her work. Her energy and the kind of enthusiasm she has even at 12 in the night is amazing. When the camera comes on, she just switches on. She is a livewire. She gives it her 100%... the way she collaborates with the stylist, gets involved in the hair, makeup and goes that extra mile for the picture to look fabulous. We took this one at a service station against a 1930 Austin 7 vintage car. It’s high fashion with a lot of attitude. It’s bold and dynamic.
