Having generated a lot of buzz for its innovative first look posters, director Sajid Khan's film Himmatwala has set a new record in the Indian film industry.
The team streamed the Mahurat shot live on YouTube, all the way from the iconic Ramoji Studios in Hyderabad. This was the first time for any Hindi film, that the audience is involved with the film right from its first shot by means of a live digital telecast.
The shot had the leading man Ajay Devgn delivering a power-packed dialogue "Na main dilliwala, na mein CBI wala, ek behen ka bhai hu, ek maa ka beta..Himmatwala!.."
Zareena Wahab, who plays his mother, and Leena Jumani, who plays his sister, along with Mahesh Manjrekar were also a part of the scene.
A source from the sets says, "Sajid 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 film 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 1st time that a Mahurat Shot was broadcasted live on such a humongous platform."
The telecast also had Sajid introducing the audiences to the crew which was present on the sets including producer Vashu Bhagnani, dialogue writers Sajid-Farhad, hair stylist Hakim Aalim, costume stylist Naveen Shetty and various others.
Himmatwala, starring Ajay Devgn, Tamannaah Bhatia, Rishi Kapoor and Prakash Raj, is a remake of the 1983 Jeetendra-Sridevi starrer Himmatwala.
