Recently rain and flood scenes in the movies have become a fashion in Bollywood. Most of the movies coming now-a-days are follwing this trend. We can see the examples from the movies like De Dana Dan in which Tum Mile song is shooted in rain. The movie also has a touchy flood scene. The scene of 26/7 flood is redepicted in the movie.
The movie 3 Idiots also scenes depicting rainy night with heavy rain. My Name Is Khan also has the climax featuring flood. Director Vipul Shah also had desire to follow this trend in his upcoming venture Action Replayy.He was of mind to shoot a wet holi scene in this movie.Vipul has already given this type of scene in his movie Waqt in which he gave the famous song Do Me A Favour, Let’s Play Holi.
But this time he could not fulfill his desire to have a wet holi scene in Action Replayy with Aishwarya Rai. He wanted it as her entry song. The reason behind change of his mind is shortage of water in the city and the scene might have required approximately 80 tankers of water. As told by Vipul Shah they were raedy to shoot a huge Holi scene for the movie with Aishwarya Rai. According to him the scene might have required70-80 tankers of water and they were to shoot the scene with 500 dancers and 150 extras. It might have taken 3 days to comlpete the shooting of the song.
Vipul said that after reading abut the serious problem of water scarcity in the city he dropped his idea of the scene. According to him inspite of knowing about this problem if he had done this scene it would have count as crime. He said that earlier he worked on the scene and was successful in creating visuals with the help of special cameras.But keeping the problem of water shortage in mind he changed the entire scene.
Vipul is of the opinion that today people have great faith in Bollywood so they should also respect their faith and be responsible. Aishwarya Rai also joins him at this opinion. People should be very happy at the step taken by Vipul and Aishwarya to change the scene. Being the ambassad of IIFA’s Global Cool Campaign it is the duty of Aishwarya to fulfill her responsibility towards the environment.
