Sanjay Gupta to put up cut-outs of 'Dus Kahaniyan' stars

Remember those small-town fairs where professional photographers in small tents with over-sized cameras clicked pictures of you with cardboard cut-outs of your favourite actors? If Sanjay Gupta has his way he would bring back those days.
Gupta said: 'What I intend to do is to put up life-size cardboard cut-outs 30 feet in length and eight feet in height of all the stars from 'Dus Kahaniyan'. Each of these cut-outs will be put up at multiplexes. There will be a gap next to every star in the cut-out for the viewer to accommodate himself and get himself photographed with his favourite actor. In fact a whole family or group of friends can get themselves photographed with the stars at various positions using the cut-out.'
He dismissed suggestions that his idea is old-fashioned and said: 'As a child I remember posing in a studio with Dharmendra. You watch how this old-fashioned idea catches on like wildfire. This is the era of cell-phone cameras. So everyone can click in an instant. This is going to be put up at IMAX and other big multiplexes. It's a little bit of added masti for cinegoers.'
