Himesh Reshammiya songs inspire deejays to television show hosts, but his biggest fans apparently, are autorickshaw drivers. Working on this assumption, the singer-songwriter-actor has enlisted six autorickshaw drivers for a vital pre-climax shoot in his film, in Germany. The entire sequence will cost Rs 75 lakh, and presumablythis is the first time that autorickshaws will be seen on German roads. Driving force: Himesh Reshammiya
"The pre-climax of the film is integral to the love story," he says. But why the autorickshaws? "It's a tribute to my fans, many of whom are rickshaw drivers. Unfortunately, I can't divulge any more details at this point," says Himesh.
Apparently, he was also referred to as the Robbie Williams of India at the Berlin Film Festival. Himesh laughs, "I don't want any tags but I am happy since Robbie Williams is a great guy."
When quizzed about the two leading ladies in his film, he says, "I can't divulge more information now. Wait and watch, we have a surprise up our sleeves." Finally, when quizzed about his weight loss, he says, "Yes, I have lost a lot of weight for my role. Don't you like me slim?"
It's a tribute to my fans, many of whom are rickshaw drivers. Unfortunately, I can't divulge any more details at this point — Himesh Reshammiya
