According to actress Neeshaa Singh's publicist and manager, Flynn Remedios, the photographer Clement Andrew Martins contacted Neeshaa Singh via Facebook, claiming that he was an international photographer and on special assignments and glamour and hi-fashion shoots for several sophisticated men's magazines including GQ International, Playboy and also publications like People, Newsweek and USA Today.
He said he would be interested in working with Neeshaa Singh for an international men's magazine.
"We were of course intrigued and asked him to email us more details. He wrote back saying the shoot he was talking about would be for Playboy and would be shot in Europe over a span of one week. He also claimed that his agency would be willing to pay the equivalent of Rs 3-crore for a full-frontal nude shoot for the centrespread plus all expenses and travel and stay, " informs Remedios.
We first thought it was a joke and some friend or acquaintance was pulling a prank on us, says Remedios.
However, when we asked him for his contact details, specifying that he should give us his website address and his landline telephone number, to our amazement, he did provide us with the details he asked for and the same turned out to be correct. A woman answered our calls and claimed that the number belonged to Martins. Other details provided also seemed to work out right.
Meanwhile the sexy Neeshaa Singh has not yet decided if she is doing the shoot or not. "We are still verifying if the entire thing is a hoax and will decide about the shoot only after that, " explained Remedios.
