Flirting In The Wild Feat. Arjun Kapoor

One crazy trip, a model and a luxury camp site! Even arjun didn’t know that the wilds of leh will be this beautiful.

Arjun Kapoor, a sexy model and a luxury tent was all that we needed for a successful shoot. Coming from 30 degrees of Delhi to a staggering 10 in Leh, we didn’t have much time to acclimatise. But what got us going was the spunk, charm and a wicked sense of humour of Arjun. At a time when actors prefer to stick to a safe genre to work, Arjun has shown great variety with his choice of films, creating a fan frenzy of his own. From the rugged charmer in Ishaqzaade to the women’s favourite in Ki & Ka, he has worked with a different female lead in each one of them. Walking ahead in full tashan there’s something about the man next door that tells you he’s bound to go places.

When the idea of shooting in the luxurious base camps of the serene Himalayas struck us, we wanted someone who had no qualms about travelling and everything that revolved about the basic notion of experimentation. We knew Arjun as an actor who’s always ready for new try-outs and goes without any hang-ups, whatsoever. Hence the obvious choice.

When we first met him, our cover guy seemed too carefree to even pose for the camera, but as soon as Taras went about clicking, there was a different version of the actor, assuming ‘the’ attitude and improvising on it. Speaking with him, we got to know a lot of things about his restricted childhood (which is the case with every boy who has paranoid parents) to sharing a great camaraderie with Ranveer Singh. After a day long shoot and a lot of memories to carry, it was time to say good bye to the land of Lamas with those grand old words, Haminasto! Haminasto! Haminasto!

Hi Arjun, how did you like the concept of the shoot?
