Salman Khan, the famous Bollywood actor launched the Kingfisher Calendar 2011 in Mumbai on the weekend.

 

The other Bollywood stars who graced the occasion were Raveena Tandon, Sameera Reddy, Rahul Dev, Yana Gupta, Dino Morea, Deepika Padukone, Lisa Haydon, Milind Soman, Rahul Khanna and Madhvan.

 

Salman said, "I have launched the Kingfisher calendar for the second time and I like Vijay Mallya. I think he is a great guy and whenever he will call me for anything, I'll surely be present."

 

The calendar comprising pictures of top six swimsuit models was shot by Atul Kasbekar at Mauritius’s Le-touessork.

 

Kasbekar said that the locations of the shoot include the Casela Nature Park and the calendar was shot with some animals like lions, cheetahs and zebras. He said, "We also shot at literally any place we wanted including Chamarel, which is an area of colour volcanic earth and they have never allowed anyone to shoot there except us. So, must be a nice shoot for Kingfisher."

 

The Kingfisher airlines owner Sidhartha Mallya was overwhelmed by all the outstanding beauties. He said, "Well, it is superb. I mean it was very overwhelming to be surrounded by so many beautiful women. And each one of them had an outstanding quality in their own way. But unfortunately one could win and Angela was a very worthy winner. She is a stunningly good-looking girl. She is a very sweet person and she radiates all that Kingfisher stands for."
