Lights...Camera...........Action

We started filming at 5:45 AM at night on Saturday. Holy shit, was I actually awake so early. As my memory serves me and these photographs remind me, I and a few others really were..... filming for "firdaus - in search of paradise".

Can you believe they could do this to this to a smart hunk like me!! Boy, am I looking in a mess. Rahul Goel was the guy responsible for this. He created the scar and screwed up my hair. So if anyone wants the messy look ever, do contact email2rgoel@gmail.com for this great messed up look!! Great job Rahul!!

Khopdi miya... Is baar to khoob kood rahe the manu ko marne kae liye, part 2 mae tumhe maarne ka plan banaye kya?? Bolo bolo!!! phone mae kya dekh rahe ho?

Director and makeshift Satya --- Saurabh Mehta. This shot took 9 retakes, the record for fantasy tribe till now. Director sahib, you lead by example, and we follow!!

"The background is too bright. Can someone please switch off the sun!!!" That was just an earnest request from cameraman Darshan as he prepared for a shot.

Terror in the sweetest form conceivable. Jiya Mehta threatens the guys.


Do watch this video to see the joy of successfully memorizing a long dialogue for the next shot. You probably will not understand the ecstasy that was felt. Go act in a movie and you will know. The joy was even more in my case as I was the most likely person to break Saurabh's record for 9 retakes and I knew my full dialogue before the first take!!


Probably the most important decisions in the lives of men is taken here... What are we having for lunch :)

This seemingly lovely lady was primarily responsible for the blood and gore in the photographs below.

I sure make a beautiful corpse don't I. No we haven't let out the end of the story. We've actually shot 2 and this one is merely the backup act!!

We should be giving lessons to Bollywood directors it seems, atleast when it comes to showing dead people. Way to go guys, this one is really super!! btw. no points for guessing who is responsible for the artwork here. I've already let out her secret...


We found out that day why India does not successfully create tons of world class gymnasts!! There dad's just don't let them practice enough!!! Really sweeeet one. Not directly related to the movie but an absolute must watch.

This is Manish bhai striving for perfection at the long shot camera. This act of making minute adjustments went on forever and ever.

4-5 Saal ho gaye shaadi ko, phir bhi chupke sae chota sa mauka nikal kae thoda sa romance karne mae piche nahi rehte Saurabh ji.

Watch out for this gabbar ka adda type setting during the scenes of the movie. Pretty awesome isn't it?


Rahul seems to be Amir Khan of the group, boy he really seems to have gotten into the character of Khopdi. I sure hope he didn't murder anyone on his way back home. Just check out the aggression in the guys interview.

More on the fantasy tribe to follow. Stay tuned.
