Filmmaker Vishal Punjabi
Filmmaker Vishal Punjabi, known as The Wedding Filmer, has captured the weddings of several high-profile couples, including Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Kiara Advani and Siddharth Malhotra, and Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli.
In a recent YouTube chat with DJ Simz, Vishal disclosed an intriguing story about a celebrity wedding he filmed that ended in controversy.
The incident occurred when the groom was found naked in his makeup van with a Bollywood actress. The wife discovered the situation and decided she no longer wanted the wedding film.
Vishal recounted his attempts to contact both the groom and bride, but they refused to communicate about the film.
He also reached out to the groom’s manager, who confirmed that they did not want the wedding film. At that point, Vishal was faced with the dilemma of what to do with the footage.
Reflecting on the situation, he decided to change his contract terms, requiring full payment before filming, due to the emotional and personal nature of the content.
While Vishal chose not to pursue the outstanding payment aggressively, he retained the footage, which he describes as highly valuable.
He mentioned that the groom's fake tears on camera, which he describes as "crocodile tears," make the footage worth millions.
Vishal humorously suggested that the footage could be turned into a comedy film, potentially earning a significant amount of money. He ended his remarks by looking into the camera and saying, "You know who you are," emphasizing the value of the footage he possesses.
