Stories from the Shoot of Dil Dosti Etc

Imaad feeds Momos to the crew of Dil Dosti Etc!!

Imaad Shah is one enterprising guy. While the unit of Dil Dosti Etc was shooting in Delhi, Imaad treated the crew members to what he claimed were the best momos in the city. Everyone liked them so much that the next day Imaad had again rushed to the neigbouring Kamla Nagar Market to pack momos for the hungry crew. All this without the knowledge of the director of course!

Imaad’s treks to Kamla Nagar went on till one day the director, Manish Tiwary, decided to cut short a lunch break and Imaad was required on the sets in 10 minutes flat. Urgent calls were made to Imaad since Manish did not know of his absence. An equally frantic Imaad raced back, got into his costume and make up in what can only be described as the shortest time ever taken by an actor in getting ready, and made it to the set as good as new – not a trace of his adventure was visible in his appearance. The crew breathed a sigh of relief, and after the shot were only too happy to find that even in all that rush, Imaad had not forgotten to bring them their momos!

This must be the first time anyone ever heard of a star running- literally- to satisfy the whims of his crew members !

The tagline of Dil Dosti Etc itself will pull us to see your film…

When one is young we want everything and nothing looks impossible!

Imaad Shah appears to be a chilled out guy. May be all these running around for momo helps him to keep his mind off ‘acting’ acting, and just be a natural performer, like his father.

Good luck.

i dont how much sense this will make: Media is seeing India in the young, and India is seen by the media (naitonally and internationally) as having endless possibilities today... I hope this film lives up to show the 'new' India. A young India reaching for stars...

Hmm, sounds good. Non starry behavior from a star son. I hope we have more stars like him. And the 'star ego' and 'starry tantrums' become a thing of past.
More power to Imad.
BTW, which momo shop was that?

imaad shah seems part of the new generation actors where 'stars' don't need to sit on asses and vanity cars to claim respectability.
During a shoot when all are doing their work, everyone is worthy of respect, like in any good MNC culture today. Something most stars don't realize.
I hope Imaad's actions helped to build an air of confidence and friendship among the entire team .
I am sure, the director must've appreciated his efforts.
Cheers to your modern film unit!
