Monty is not actually leaping towards the other figure, but is about to walk behind him. You see, Mudhsuden is shown falling into (and extricating himself from) a classic desi trap; I like to call it the "relative reassignment". In this case, Monty has been out walking. He has crossed the path of someone he assumes is a cricket-playing relative (possibly a very distant uncle, but he can't be sure). As he comes closer to the target, he becomes more certain that he has bumped into this figure at various family gatherings (he seems to remember his 18th birthday and a box of chocolates; possibly some bad dancing and a blue 1970s Mercedes). It is only once he comes into closer range that he realises that the "uncle" is an absolute stranger. By this stage, it is usually too late; you can't do the simple "head bob of recognition" (copyright pending) and have to go for the full hug. However, what Monty has subtly done is reassign the gesture of recognition to a fictional relative way in the distance over the "uncle"'s shoulder. With wonderful sang-froid, Monty has carried on walking ("Oh hi, Ranjit Chacha..."); leaving the "uncle" hugging the air. Like an idiot.</p> I think you’ll find that the sense of perspective has deceived everyone with this photo. Monty is not actually leaping towards the other figure, but is about to walk behind him.
