Hrithik was extremely busy last year with his film, Krrish. Later, he was busy with (brother-in-law) Zayed and Fardeen's weddings. I could not get a date from him for my shoot. So I SMSed him, saying I would use a picture of him I had shot earlier in the year. But he didn't reply.

Later, I bumped into him at Fardeen's wedding. So I told him I would be using an older picture for my calendar. He said, 'no way' and wanted to do a fresh shoot.

Since it was already December 14, I told him my calendar needed to go to print. So right there, he fixed a day -- December 22, I think. His was the last shoot for the calendar.

For the shoot, we got this mesh of screws. Each screw was tied to the other with a metal wire. I had seen somewhere on the Internet. Here, You see only a part of the mesh. It is actually very long because I thought we would wrap Hrithik in this. It took us two days to get it made.

In my 2005 calendar we also had a bare-body picture of Hrithik. But that picture had a lot of aggression -- he was screaming out. Here, he's only standing, not even posing or showing off his muscles.

You can win an autographed copy of this fabulous calendar. All you have to do is SMS DAB to 7333 and answer the five questions that follow. If you get them correct, you could be one of the randomly selected ten lucky winners!
