Bouncers & Actors
15.05.2014
Nobody in the olden
days ever needed to be escorted by bouncers to film shootings or parties and
when we watched Hollywood stars fiercely guarded by their security we were
unable to fathom how superstars could be unsafe amidst people who loved them.
Today, with electronic media invading our lives we have understood the
paparazzi phenomena and experienced that private security for superstars is a
necessity today.
I remember when director Govind Nihalani launched Dev at Rajkamal Studio the media got unruly and Amitabh Bachchan had to personally supervise the chaos before he could give his mahurat shot. Something similar happened on the last day shooting of Humshakal in London where fans in large numbers turned up to watch Saif Ali and the only way to disperse them was for Khan to take on the role of a crowd controller. Khan came out to wave at the large gathering and taking over the microphone requested them to allow the unit to complete shooting as they had permission to shoot just for a few hours and once they were done with the work, he would personally sign their autographs and pose for their cameras. The nawabi charm worked, the crowd dispersed and returned late in the evening for another glimpse of the star.
