Filming
Himmatwala Shooting has started with mahurat shot,which held at 1 PM on
22 August.The team streamed the mahurat shot live on an internet portal, all
the way from the iconic Ramoji Movie City in Hyderabad. This is the first time
for any movie in B-town that the audience is involved with the movie right from
its first shot. The mahurat Shot had Ajay Devgn delivering the very famous
power packed dialogue, 'Na main dilliwala, na mein CBI wala, ek behen ka bhai
hu, ek maa ka beta..Himmatwala...' Zarina Wahab and Leena Jumani who play
Devgn's mother and sister respectively along with Mahesh Manjrekar were also a
part of the scene. Sajid Khan wanted everything to go perfect in the very first
take as he is a little superstitious about the mahurat shot and wanted to
incorporate it in the movie as it is without any edits or retakes. And much to
everyone's excitement, everything went off as it was planned as this was the
first time that a mahurat Shot was broadcasted live,' revealed a source on the
sets. The telecast also had Sajid introducing the audiences to the crew that
was present on the sets including producer Vashu Bhagnani, dialogue writers
Sajid-Farhad, ace hairstylist Hakim Aalim, costume stylist Naveen Shetty and
others.
