I learned that Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor would be shooting at Leopold Cafe in Colaba for Reema Kagti's film in the wee hours of Friday. I reached at 10.30 pm on Thursday and waited.

Slideshow: Aamir's secret shoot

After the cafe closed shop, Aamir stepped out from his vanity van and went inside, followed by Kareena who, too, emerged from her van.



A heavy security cover was provided by the police and by private security guards, who had barricaded the area along Colaba Causeway.

It was impossible to shoot in front of them. I hid in a corner and waited. There were hardly any streetlights on only the lights the unit was using.

I took pictures of Kareena at 3.15 am after she had packed up and was in her car leaving the shoot. There was hardly any light so I used my flash and ran! I could take Aamir's shots only at 5.30 am when he emerged from the Cafe for the shot.

On Saturday night, I spotted them shooting at the Lower Parel bridge. There was heavy security there, too, and they had designed the place like a red-light area. Apparently, Kareena essays the role of a sex worker in the film.

Making of the project

>> Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji attended script reading workshops at a hotel in Bandra before beginning to shoot for Reema Kagti's film.

>> The project is yet untitled but the working title is The Act of Murder.

>> All those associated with the movie have been made to sign a non-disclosure pact

>> The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, under whose banner Reema made her directorial debut with Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd.

>> Aamir has asked for a whopper share (buzz is almost 70 per cent) for this project which is a joint production between Aamir, Ritesh and Farhan.
