Excerpts from the interview
He is a hotshot photographer, a film producer and a widely respected name in the film industry. He is Subi Samuel. A name associated with glitz, style and glamour. Subi along with Joy Ghoshal and Rajeev Chudasama of Marching Ants has conceptualized ‘Alchemy Calendar 2008’ where 24 of the top Bollywood bigwigs like Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Preity Zinta have been presented in comic book strips. In an exclusive interview with IndiaFM, Subi explains the reasons for such an unconventional calendar as this, why he likes shooting stars on harnesses and what his future production plans are.
Alright, could you tell us something about the images of Dhoom star Hrithik Roshan?
We have shot a picture of Hrithik arm wrestling with another guy and for a change, this guy has biceps bigger than Hrithik’s and they are in a prison. They have to fight, they have to win, the guy who wins gets his meal and the guy who loses doesn’t. That’s the background story of the whole picture. You would imagine Hrithik to say something to tick this guy off. He says you know with the kind of bad breath you have you can win any arm wrestling contest. So, there is humor and there is whole drama that’s going on.
