14. Shooting - II
She returned home, and her mom, maasi and Priya asked her about the shoot in Mysore. She told them it went well, but was tiring. They asked when was it going to release. She told she didn't know. All she knew was that she was going to shoot another video soon. She said it all depends on producer. He will decide when he wants to release it.
Two weeks after their return from Bangalore, they were all set to shoot the second video of the song. The shooting was inside a shopping mall. They were paying the builder for a day to shoot there without any disturbance by real public. The construction of mall was complete, but it still had some time to open. Good looking popular male model was signed opposite Raina for the video of the duet song. Some extras were also signed to play a part in video. Kulshan agreed to sign two female models for a disc scene. They were some small time print models. One of the shops in the mall was being readied for the disc scene with disco lights on ceiling, strobe lights and other things. The disc scene was going to be shot last, so models, and extra dancers were told to report late afternoon. The aim was to complete the shoot in one day as it didn't require any costume change and location.
On the day of the shoot, Abhimanyu, Sahil, cinematographer, location boys, and those responsible for light were first to arrive. The extras arrived next, and they first shot the scenes with the extras and let them go after the payment. Raina arrived in a blue V-neck T and skinny jeans, and went into the empty shop that was turned into her dressing room for the day. Saumya along with the hair stylist and make-up artist was already there. She got her make up done and then changed into the outfit that Saumya gave her to wear in the trial room of the shop. It was elbow sleeve blue color crop top with printed red flared bottoms that hugged on waist, butts and thighs. The flared part of the pants had slit that ran from above the knee. There were no fitting issues. The midriff baring outfit showed her flat stomach and tiny waist. After she was dressed, the hairstylist styled her hair in braids as instructed by Abhimanyu.
Male model, Rohan, too arrived and went into the shop that was changed into dressing room for him. He changed into not so fitted white shirt and khaki bottoms. He was the latest sensation in the modelling scene. Sahil walked into Raina's dressing with Rohan and introduced them to each other. Then they had a joint walk through of the whole video with Sahil, while Abhimanyu was out discussing scenes with cinematographer. When they came out to shoot, the cameras were all set. Abhimanyu explained them what to do in the scene before every shot. There were quite a few retakes and also breaks to set up the camera for different scenes.
In one such break when cameras were being readied, Abhimanyu and Sahil were sitting together in chairs with no one around. Abhimanyu was smoking, they both were looking direction of Raina who was standing at a distance with her make-up artist doing her touch up.
Sahil: That midriff is a killer! Isn't it? He asked Abhimanyu.
Abhimanyu: Ya! He said looking at her bare midriff.
Abhimanyu: Good for our video. He said without lifting his eyes off her midriff.
Sahil: And for you?
Abhimanyu: She is beautiful, but not hot. Not my types. He said looking away from her midriff.
Sahil: You don't have a type. She should be only unmarried. That's it.
Sahil: So, are you not taking her home after we finish today?
Abhimanyu: Why?
Sahil: Just curious. I mean we are done with the work here.
Abhimanyu: Nopes! He shook his head, and Sahil looked at him in shock.
Sahil: I can't believe it. I would have definitely taken her home if I didn't have a loving wife at home. He said looking at Raina.
Abhimanyu: Hmm..extra marital desires waking up. Repenting marriage? Jealous of my life? He teased his friend smiling.
Sahil: Jealous of your life? He asked him with an expression that said not at all.
Abhimanyu: Why not? My life is brilliant! I wouldn't want to change a thing about it. I get to have fun with different women, which even married men crave to have.
Sahil: Being with one women is not that bad. He stated.
Abhimanyu: Dude, you have forgotten what it feels like to be with different women everyday. You are missing on that fun. You screwed up by getting married too soon.
Sahil: No, I am happy in my marriage. You know it's peaceful. You are not restless.You know that there is this one woman who is available to you physically, emotionally and in so many ways you want. One doesn't have it as an everyday task like you, like you have to think and plan who you want to take home. Aren't you tired of picking up girls like that?
Abhimanyu: You are advising me marriage?
Sahil: I know you hate marriage, but I want to tell you all women are not bad.
Abhimanyu: Ya, some are outright heartless. He said without any emotion.

Kulshan arrived on location in the afternoon to see how the shoot was going. They were shooting the last scene before the lunch break. The shot got okayed and Kulshan walked to talk with Raina and Rohan. Sahil and Abhimanyu along with the rest of the crew went to eat the lunch brought by the caterer. The lunch was served in a room. Everybody served themselves in a plate and went to sit wherever they wanted to in that flank of the floor. Rohan excused himself for lunch while Kulshan chatted with Raina. Abhimanyu saw Rohan come in for lunch, but not Raina. After putting food in their plates, Abhimanyu and Sahil came out the room and sat on chairs at the end of flank. Abhimanyu could see Kulshan standing and chatting with Raina at the railing that looked down into lobby.
Kulshan: You are looking so beautiful even in this outfit and this hairstyle. He complimented her after Rohan left.
Raina: Thank you. She smiled.
Kulshan looked at her and smiled his cute side smile.
Kulshan: I heard the album and I must say you have sung all the songs so beautifully. You have an amazing voice.
Raina: Thank you.
Raina: Kulshan, I have to go for lunch. She tried to excuse herself.
Kulshan: Come, let's go somewhere out for the lunch.
Raina: I don't think we have that long break. She didn't know how to refuse the producer.
Kulshan: I'm the producer. Nothing will happen. They all can wait for you until we come back. She gave a nervous smile.
Raina: These are some weird clothes to go out and eat in. she said gesturing to her clothes.
Kulshan: You can go and change, and then comeback and change into this again. I'll wait for you, though you look perfect to go in this too. He smiled.
Raina: Let me ask Abhimanyu.
Kulshan: Are you related to Abhimanyu in any way?
Raina: No. She said shaking her head."In fact I don't know him at all," she added.
Kulshan: I mean the way you left that day from party, I thought so. I think you should not let him have your reigns just because he discovered you. I mean you are here because of your own talent, and not because of him.
She listened to him intently, and nodded her head.
Just then the location boy came to her and told her that she needs to go and see her hair stylist immediately. The stylist is waiting for her in the dressing room.
Raina: I don't think it's possible to go now in the middle of shoot.
Kulshan looked down from the railing of the floor where he was standig with Raina, and saw Abhimanyu hugging Shimona in the lobby of the mall. Raina saw him looking down, so she too looked down and saw Abhimanyu and Sahil standing with a pretty model.
Raina excused herself and Kulshan too didn't stop her.
Raina went to the dressing room. Saumya too was there with the hair stylist.
Raina: You called for me? She asked the hair stylist.
Hair Stylist: Ya, Abhimanyu called and told us to quickly do your hair again, without wasting any time.
Raina: These braids all over again. They look fine.
Hair Stylist: We will have to do them again, because they don't look fine to him.
Down in the lobby Abhimanyu hugged Shimona, and Sahil greeted her.
Shimona: Where have you been? I have been wanting to meet you ever since. She said hugging him tight feeling all his abs.
Shimona: You never called me.
Abhimanyu: I had lost your number. I got your number from Saumya a few days back.
Sahil stifled his laugh. He knew how Abhimanyu always kept his phone off and told the girls that his phone battery had discharged. He told them he didn't remember his number,and then took their number on paper. That gave him the flexibility to avoid them or contact them depending on how he wanted it to be.
Shimona: Ya I met Saumya on a shoot few days back, and she told me she was the stylist on your shoot. I told her to let you know that I wanted to meet you.
Abhimanyu: And see, you told her and I called you to meet me today on this special day when Kulshan is also here.
Shimona: Kulshan Kumar of P-series.
Abhimanyu: Yes. Have you met him before?
Shimona: Once.
Abhimanyu: You know he is looking for fresh faces to cast in his upcoming film. I thought you were interested in acting, so you might want to meet him. You can thank me later. He smiled.
Shimona: Of course yes, so nice of you. Thank you.
Kulshan walked down to them.
Kulshan: Hi Shimona! How are you?
Shimona: Good Kulshan. Nice to see you. I didn't think you know me.
Kulshan: C'mon! Don't be so modest Shimona. Everybody knows you. You are one of the country's sexiest model.
Kulshan: How come you are here?
Shimona: I came to see Abhimanyu. She said looking at Abhimanyu.
Abhimanyu: Excuse me Shimona, I got to go to get the shot ready. I'll see you later. He told her.
Abhimanyu with Sahil went to the floor on which they were shooting, and Kulshan chatted with Shimona in the lobby.
Shimona: Have you had your lunch? She asked Kulshan.
Kulshan: No, I was about to. He replied to her.
Shimona: Even I have not had. I know a good restaurant nearby. It would be nice to have you for the company.
Kulshan smiled.
Kulshan: Of course yes. Who would miss a chance to lunch out with a lovely lady like you.
She smiled wide, and they walked out.
Sahil asked Abhimanyu," why did he do that?" on their way upstairs.
Abhimanyu: What did I do? He asked as if he didn't know what he was talking about.
Sahil: Oh, please! Don't try to pretend. Don't think I don't know what you just did there. You called Shimona today at lunch time to see you, so that she can take away Kulshan from the shoot. You called the hairstylist just to not let Kulshan talk with Raina. You did the same in the party in Bangalore. You have a thing for her. You are possessive of her.
Abhimanyu: No! I am just protective about her. She is just eighteen years old. You know how Kulshan is; a wolf in a sheep's skin.
Sahil: Kulshan is just like you are. You both are the peas of the same pod. You are not a protector, you are a predator. You were saving her from Kulshan. Why? Who are you to decide anything for her. She is an eighteen year old adult, a future star. She has all the right to decide and go and do whatever with whom so ever she wants to, just like you. If she wants to go with Kulshan, you have no right to stop her. And for once, you are not the one who cares about age. You lost your virgity to a thirty two year old at nineteen. So, stop with this age nonsense.
Abhimanyu took a deep breath and blew out the air from his mouth.
Abhimanyu: Okay, I know that is not a good way to lose one's virginity, but that is how it is. And just because I lost my virginity at nineteen doesn't mean she should lose hers at eighteen.
Sahil: I only mean to say that she is not a baby, she is big enough to know the rights and wrongs, and take her own decisions. Don't be a dictator on her. She is not your servant.
Sahil was right, he must remind himself that she was a singer and not his maid anymore.
Abhimanyu: Ya, I think you are right.
They went and shot the remaining part of the video that was being shot in lift. After Kulshan left with Shimona, he didn't return. Abhimanyu and Sahil were watching the shots on monitor when Sahil commented that Raina and the model made a good pair, they looked good together on screen, and their chemistry is great, much better she had with the model in the first video. "He is very handsome," Sahil said and then looked at his friend, "but not as handsome as you". "Thank you very much for the consolation prize," Abhimanyu said and smiled. In between the shots Abhimanyu saw Raina sit and chit chat with her model costar Rohan, but he didn't stop her. After Sahil told him, he too felt that she was big enough to decide for herself. Her co-star Rohan asked what was she doing in the evening after the shoot to which she told that she liked to spend time with her family. He got an indication that she was a family girl and didn't try any further.

The models and extras arrived all dressed up for the last disc scene in the room that had been turned into disc for the shoot. Abhmanyu gave the brief to the main sexy model in red crop top while the leads looked on. After the shot was done the female model who shared the dressing room with Raina, changed into a short skort, and instead of leaving, went back to the room where the shooting with leads was on. All the shooting was done and some extra footage with leads was being shot as fillers to be used during editing if required. Abhimanyu gazed at the model standing outside the door. He stared at her ensuring that she noticed, she too stared at him and then he looked away smiling only to return his gaze to her after a minute. After it happened a few times, he told Sahil to take care of the extra shots, and the wrap up. He then got up and walked to the model who he already had enough positive hints from. Everybody was present, and busy and the disc room from hair stylist to make-up artist. Raina who was having a touch up saw Abhmanyu walk to the model from the disc scene.
Abhimanyu: I wonder if those heels are killing you? He asked the model pointing to her stilettos.
Model: Why do you think so? She asked in a a soft flirtatious tone.
Abhimanyu: Because your legs in those killer heels are killing me. He whispered in a sexy voice after looking lustfully at her legs.
Sahil who came out to go to restroom overheard him."He needs those heels between his legs. Please give him one," he joked with the model who smiled wide in response. He smiled with laugh as he continued to walk towards the restrooms. Abhimanyu too smiled and laughed, and showed him eye in a fun way.
Abhimanyu: I was wondering if you would like to give your feet some rest at my place. He said in whispers looking seductively in her eyes and she blushed.

Sahil finished shooting the extra shots of Raina and Rohan and called it pack up. The duet song " Nahin Nahin" was successfully shot in one day. Raina walked to her designated make-up room to change and when she opened the door, she saw him and that model into each other's mouth. She turned back to go, but by then she had already interrupted their smooch session."I'm waiting out for you," he told the model, and walked out the room. She then saw the model pick her bag and go after him.

The second video that they shot: Dj Aqeel - Nahin Nahin.
