<span class=normal> Kingfisher Beer and Calendar is synonymous to sexy, elegant, classy <br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Vijay Mallya sat down with me and explained this to me - Your two hundred friends and associates who read the foreign fashion mags are very insignificantly small percentage of the population that I am concerned with. This is a beer. From Bill Gates and to the peons in India and whoever in-between can conceivably enjoy one if not many beers in their lifetime as compared to the twenty year old whisky or cognac. Beer goes across economic barriers, gender, age and appeals to the widest common denominator across the globe. So what happens when the calendar is called Kingfisher calendar. How does it resemble the beer? Well, its elegant, sexy, classy and appeals to the whole wide world. <br><br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> I want to see niceness in the models eyes. I hate pouts and if anyone gives me that, I stop shooting <br> There is next to nothing the kingfisher models are wearing. There is hardly 50cm of fabric they sport. I tell them that they are already looking brilliant, sexy and so dont bring that in the picture. Thats very essential. To brief them is integral part of what I do. I dont need pouts and I tell them that I need to know them better and I want to see niceness in their eyes. If anyone gives me those cliché looks I stop shooting and take a small walk. I take them to my monitor and show them their photos and delete the pictures. We start from the scratch. </span>
