Celebrity photographer Daboo Ratnani is all set to treat the cinephiles with another stellar masterpiece work of his photoshoots in the form of his annual calendar. The calendar, that will be launch tonight in a grand event in Mumbai, features 24 Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Parineeti Chopra, Tiger Shroff, Shraddha Kapoor, Sunny Leone, Kiara Advani, Janhvi Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and others.
The photographer has already published 20 yearly calendars and handsome hunk Akshay Kumar has been part of 16 of them, while Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra featured in 18 out of 20. There is no denying that the calendar is already a hit among the Bollywood celebs as well as the fans. A statement from Dabboo Ratnani read, “Love, Art & Passion! #dabbooratnanicalendar Since 2000. The year 2019 marks 20 years of my annual calendars! I make these calendars for the pure & unconditional love of photography. It’s pure as I shoot it with my heart & soul. It's unconditional as I don’t expect any returns from it. It’s non-commercial. I don’t sell my calendars. I get offers for crores of rupees for my calendar but I have never given it to any temptation. It’s only given out as a gift to my friends from media, fashion & film fraternity.
Special Mention to my wife Manisha @manishadratnani, who shoots all #btswithdabboo & supports me completely. She takes care of entire pre and post-production, coordination with actors & PR. My 3 angels Myrah Kiara Shivaan #dabboojr #myrahkiarashivaan who bring in lots of smiles & energy on set @myrahratnani @kiararatnani @shivaanratnani @dabbooratnanistudio.
I can’t thank enough every single artist & technician, who gave their invaluable time, love & trusted my vision. Everyone shoots it like it’s their own. December comes and everyone is all charged up to shoot for calendar. The creative juices start flowing and everyone gives their suggestions. I believe in team work and I love every single technician who has contributed to my calendars.
I can never put a value to the love affection effort and time put by actors and technicians.”
