“I had to shoot here. The city is full of life. There’s so much
of movement on Howrah Bridge. Wherever I turn, I see the place throbbing
with activity. I wanted to capture all of that,” Vinayak said.
Did he get time to explore the city after work? “By the time we wrap up, it’s already too late. But we’ve tried Bengali cuisine. I love the yellow fish curry.“

Alok Mukherjee, production executive of the Kolkata leg of the shoot,
was caught up with the 47 sadhus he had got together for that Kumbh
Mela feel. He said, “The city’s old world charm is a huge draw for
southern filmmakers. Another advantage is that people can work here for
12 hours. The cheaper wages for technicians also is an added bonus.“
A tough day for charan, but he seemed far from tired. As the unit broke for lunch, his wife, Upasana Kamineni, joined him.
When it came to striking a pose though, Upasana shied away from the flashbulbs.
They got married in June, and maybe she’s still getting used to being a superstar’s wife. But charan had made up for the loss by then.
