After a splendid response to the first part of the slideshow of Dabboo Ratnani's 2013 Calendar, we are back with the final part where Dabboo unfolds his intense views in front of Bollywood Hungama's Faridoon Shahryar about six big Bollywood stars. The sensitive side to Salman, how to tap Ranbir's mammoth potential by letting him do his own thing, Vidya bringing out her voluptuous sexuality, unpacking vivacious Priyanka in a million dollar mood, the backless black triggering the sensuousness in Asin and angelic Deepika angling her desirable back to perfection. Next year will be the fifteenth year of Ratnani's Annual Calendar and Bollywood Hungama wishes him luck in making it a truly memorable artistic experience.

Salman Khan

Salman has always been very open and we have our own connect. I had gone to his farm with my team and family to work out the dates and plan the shoot. I had told him that I needed to do the shoot as soon as I can since the launch of my calendar was scheduled on January 8th. To which he replied that he would like to do the shoot the very next day in the vicinity of the 'Bigg Boss' set. We then spent the whole day at the farm. Salman even played with my daughter, Myra and told her to jump into the pool and later got ice-creams for her. So there's indeed a real sensitive side to Salman. We shot in an old mill very close to the 'Bigg Boss' house. We have tried to give the photo a vintage touch with the grill, light coming through it and also the velvet vintage suit worn by Salman.

Deepika Padukone

We had planned to go white with white sheets, white backdrop and thus give a very angelic feel to the whole thing. In contrast to some pictures where we've gone grungy and dark, for Deepika we went completely soft in every respect. Still it has an element of sexiness and sensuousness…like sitting on the bed, showing off her legs and back. In other words, it has a dreamy look.

Asin

We shot this at Verma's stud farm at Goregaon (East), Mumbai. We knew that we wanted to play with horses. However, there were two beautiful horses - one black and one white and we were confused between the two. We then finally settled for the black horse and chose a backdrop which is quite dark. Her outfit is black as well and the only thing that stands out is her skin tone, in terms of her back, face and expression. We've usually seen the bubbly and energetic side of Asin. This time, we went more sensuous and a tone different from what people have seen of Asin.

Priyanka enjoys her photoshoots. I have been shooting with her before her first movie released, when she was a model and had won the Miss India contest. She always makes beautiful pictures. She wants to try something different, as evident in our latest photo too. We took a top angle shoot and I was high up there on the crane to get the shot. It's got the right vintage accessories, shorts and black body suit that she's wearing and everything put together is what makes this picture work.

Ranbir Kapoor Ranbir’s picture is very dramatic, with regards to the shadows coming out of the scaffolding, grungy background, suspender falling down, rusty grey trouser and the cold tone.

Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir's picture is very dramatic, with regards to the shadows coming out of the scaffolding, grungy background, suspender falling down, rusty grey trouser and the cold tone. With Ranbir, over conceptual pictures don't work. And since he's such a great actor, the fewer gimmicks you do in a picture, the better. As an actor, he relies a lot on the director and the photographer. You can mould it the way you want. He always seeks inputs from me and Manisha and then he'll add his own acting to it. After that, he'll give us the final picture.
