Rithvik Dhanjani was recently in Lonavala to shoot for ALTBalaji’s upcoming web series titled “Cartel”. While on the set, he met line producer Shaukat Shaikh, the owner of Fisherman Films and Line Production Company, who has found a friend for life in the actor.
Shaukat was managing the outdoor shoot of the show when he got to meet the “Pavitra Rishta” actor and is all praise for him. “Rithvik is such a good guy, it was a pleasure meeting him. He was here to shoot for the climax scene of his web series, and it was a month-long schedule,” he said.
“The show is based on gangsters where Rithvik is playing the lead and he has done a fabulous job. By the end of the shoot we became good friends and I have promised him a good time when he visits Lonavala next. He is a very happy and lively person. Though he is such famous actor, he had no tantrum at all, every day we used to sit and chit-chat. He has become a good friend now,” he added.
In his career spanning over 16 years, Shaukat has met quite a lot of biggies of the industry and has maintained a personal relationship more than a professional one. “Meeting celebrities is part of the job, but I try to give them the best experience in Lonavala so that they visit again for leisure and work both,” he concluded.
