Shabbir celebrates Janmasthami on Holi
No, he was not looking at the wrong month on the calendar but merely shooting for his introduction scene of Kayamath. The introduction was through Janmashtami celebrations in a chawl of Mumbai. The scene was shot over two days with 300 junior artistes, rain machines, lezim dance groups and a professional group. The scene required Shabbir Ahluwalia to go on top of the human pyramid and break the handi. Shabbir's childhood dream was coming true and was most excited. However, he could not wear elbow pads during the filming because the scene required him to be in a vest. The first couple of times was really difficult and he almost slipped down the pyramid hurting himself but he did not give up. After some time Shabbir was almost on the top when the pyramid collapsed like a pack of cards… all thanks to the slush caused by the water from the rain machines. But the whole unit kept cheering Shabbir ... made him feel like a real Govinda...and finally it worked. The pyramid was formed and the shot was captured.
