Pressed for a Meet!

That's exactly how the press meet of Banaras went off yesterday! The flashbulbs went into frenzy once the sultry lead of the movie, Urmila Matondkar walked into the ballroom at the Club, Andheri, where each media tried to outdo each other to get the gorgeous girl to give a lowdown on her role or flash that striking smile of hers! Coming second close to all the attention was the male lead, Ashmit Patel who came in in a sunset orange t-shirt and a mighty sling nursing his wounded hand...wishing you a speedy recovery boy! Also present at the occasion was the producer of the movie. L C Singh, the director, Pankaj Parashar, Himesh Reshammiya, the dialogue writer Javed Siddique and of course Naseeruddin Shah, who came in for a 'here-you-blink-and-here-he's-gone' appearance, but nonetheless, he truly had the press in splits with his comments! And going by all that we heard, seems like the cast and the crew really had a blast in Banaras, where the director we believe spiked Ashmit's glass with 'bhang' for a song and actually took seven retakes…so in short, without knowing Ashmit drank seven whole glasses of bhang! Talk about the 'highs' that shooting can get you! Folks, we are sure waiting for the movie now!
