Let me tell you a story - Some fifteen years back, a young school boy, in the small town of Akola couldn’t afford to pay Rs.200 for a photography course. It broke his heart, for all he wanted to learn was photography and not history and geography! Yet determined, he came to Mumbai… He had no godfather, no money, no education, just a heart filled with dreams and an obsession to find his destiny. The next two years was a drill that would have broken many a strong backs but not our Munna’s. He slept on the roads, temple sides, wherever he could find space for the night. The days were long as he alternated between being a milkman, a newspaper boy to floor cleaner at the various studios. Though lady luck remained elusive and he often wondered how he would ever get a chance to hold a camera or shoot those screen gods but his dreams and his smile never left him.
At every given opportunity he was there at the film studios hoping to convince an actor to give him just that one chance and do a photo-shoot with him. A daunting prospect but finally his persistence paid off and voila Arjun Rampal, the hottest new guy in tinsel town said ‘Ok, lets shoot tomorrow!’ That brought forth a rush to arrange for a camera and Rs 300 for the camera roll. Sleepless and adrenalin rushing he shot his first professional pictures that at once show cased his true potential and had Arjun happily exclaiming ‘Good!’All Pics are under Copyright of their respective owners.
