What a Picture!

What a picture!! This is part of the Daboo Ratnani’s Annual calendar that he comes out as a ritual every year which is filled with Indian movie stars!

This particular picture, however, is the most awesome in its conception as execution! Just read about it below.. one hint: its not a photoshop job!

Since water was the concept for my calendar this year, this was a good time to do it. We had taken a chair too. But this picture looked more dynamic and dangerous, so we preferred it.

Hrithik carried about seven outfit changes with him, but we got it right in the first take itself, after a rehearsal.

The picture works because he continues to hold his expression till he touches the water. Later, he told me that had never concentrated on his board exams as much as he did for this shot. That’s what makes him stand apart — his hard work even for a photograph.

He didn’t get hurt. But he was afraid that he might get a water-slap on his face, which would make it go red. But he fell in such a way that his shoulder hit the water first.

Everyone’s first reaction was that this is Photoshop. But this has no cable work, no special effects. link
