A rainy welcome for Chunky in Lucknow

Actor Chunky Pandey was welcomed by a heavy downpour in Lucknow on Friday morning. The actor, who's here to shoot for 'Prasthaanam', was pleasantly surprised to see the rains here in the city. "For a minute I thought the flight had gone back to Mumbai because in the morning when we took off from there, it was raining heavily. And here too I was greeted by rains. So I guess that makes me the

Rain Man

of Lucknow," said Chunky upon his arrival.

Back in Lucknow after several years for a film shoot, Chunky is excited about catching up with his friends in the city and enjoying Lakhnawi khana. "But what took me by surprise was how the city has evolved in such a short time. In the morning, my driver took me from this new route, the Shaheed Path, to the hotel in Gomti Nagar and it was so much fun travelling on it, especially in this weather. I remember when we were shooting here for 'Bullett Raja' five years ago, we had to take a really crowded route to the airport from Gomti Nagar. Enroute too, I saw a lot of positive changes in the city. I am loving coming back to shoot in Lucknow again," added the 'Housefull' actor.
