Remember those small-town melas where professional photographers in small tents with over-sized cameras clicked pictures of you with cardboard cut- outs of your
favourite actors?
If Sanjay Gupta has his way he would bring back those days.
Revealing his plans he says, " What I intend to do is to put up lifesize cardboard cut-outs of 30-feet in length and 8-feet in height with all the stars from Dus Kahaniyan.
Each of these cut- outs will be put up at the multiplexes.
There will be a gap next to every star in the cut -out for the viewer to accommodate himself and get
photographed with his favourite actor. In fact a whole family or group of friends can get themselves photographed with the stars at various positions in the cut-out. "
A bit of an oldfashioned idea, no?
Gupta is defiant. "As a child I remember posing in a studio with Dharmendra. You watch how this oldfashioned idea catches on like wildfire. This is the era of cell-phone
cameras. So everyone can click in an instant. This is going to be put up at IMAX and the other bigger multiplexes. It's a little bit of added masti for cinegoers, " says Gupta.
