I dove back into this thread after realizing the paparazzi at this premiere are less 'press' and more live sketch-comedy troupe. The original post kicked things off by pointing out how they shouted for Rashmika Srivalli to strike a 'BTS pose' — and yes, the crowd actually tried to orchestrate it. It's such a small, absurd demand, and yet it perfectly captures how red carpets can turn into spontaneous, ridiculous theatre when fans, paps, and celebs interact. I'm keeping this thread going because from here the antics only escalate — think teasing, nicknames, and wolf noises that belong in a sitcom.
Paparazzi Lose It Over Rashmika’s 'BTS' Pose
I dove back into this thread after realizing the paparazzi at this premiere are less 'press' and more live sketch-comedy troupe. The original tweet kicked things off by pointing out how they shouted for Rashmika Srivalli to strike a 'BTS pose' , and yes, the crowd actually tried to orchestrate it. That tiny, absurd request says a lot: red carpets can flip from glam to improvisational theatre in seconds when fans, paps, and stars start riffing. This intro sets the tone , expect jokes, nicknames, and increasingly ridiculous shout-outs as the thread continues.
Sitcom-Level Shoutouts: 'Makdi Man', 'Tom Homecoming' and the Spider Pose
This clip reads like a sitcom beat: a barrage of nicknames and punchlines ricocheting across the carpet. One minute they're calling someone 'makdi man' (spider man), then mock-asking 'kya spider-man banega tu?' and slipping in a cheeky 'Tom Homecoming' reference. When someone finally strikes the 'spider pose,' the entire crowd erupts into delighted confusion. It's ridiculous, affectionate, and a little surreal , the kind of thing you don't plan but wish you could bottle. That spontaneous humor is what makes these red-carpet moments viral: they're unscripted, cross-cultural, and impossible to fake.
'Nick Jiju!' , When the Paparazzi Turned the Groom Into a Punchline
Timing is everything: when Nick Jonas politely stepped aside to let Priyanka Chopra take a solo walk, the crowd instantly turned him into a running gag. Someone yelled 'Nick jiju?' , 'jiju' meaning brother-in-law , and after he shyly slipped off the carpet a chorus of 'jija ji sharma gaye!!!' followed, like a perfectly timed comic punchline. It's teasing that reads as affectionate neighborhood ribbing rather than cruelty. These little human moments , celebs behaving politely and crowds riffing , are exactly the kind of micro-dramas that make red carpets endlessly watchable.
Zendaya’s Polite Namaste That Broke the Room
Then you have pure charm: Zendaya, for no obvious reason, offers a polite namaste , and it sends the assembled photographers and onlookers into a collective burst of approval. It’s a tiny gesture with outsized effect: a bow, a fold of hands, and the crowd responds like she’d just given them a private encore. Moments like this humanize megastars and make the whole event feel participatory. The paparazzi aren’t just snapping photos; they’re reacting, performing, and amplifying the mood, turning a simple 'hello' into an internet-ready highlight.
'Bhediya!' , Wolf Noises, Varun Dhawan and Peak Paparazzi Energy
Finally, the crescendo: someone shouted 'Bhediya!' at Varun Dhawan , a cheeky nod to his werewolf role , and the crowd answered with wolf noises. It's the perfect absurd callback: instead of stiff questions and formal poses, you get inside jokes and live reaction theatre. This is the exact behavior the thread's author wants a documentary about: the paps' timing, their repertoire of gags, and how they can turn any red carpet into a stage. If you love unexpected, unscripted entertainment, this little collection is gold.
