Shailendra Singh’s Directorial Debut to release on Sept 2,
2016
Shailendra Singh has had Bollywood buzzing just before
the release of his directorial venture: Sunshine Music Tours and Travels
(SMTT).In what is billed to be a spectacular blend of happening music, epic
travel and irresistible fun, Sunshine Music Tours and Travels (SMTT) is the
first full-length feature film to be written and directed by Shailendra Singh.
“It’s a really young, fresh mix of Bombay to Goa and ZindaginaMilegiDobara”,
Shailendra quips, “With a funky music mix of Rang de Basanti emotions and a Sunburn
beat.” The film releases in theaters on September 2nd, 2016.
Both the teaser launch and the official trailer launch of
SMTT on July 25th
saw massive industry support for both the film and its Writer/ Director. Mr
Nana Patekar was the guest of honor for the event, and emotionally told the
audience, ““After seeing the SMTT trailer, it reminded me of Ankush days. Such
raw energy. I’m excited.”
KapilDev, MadhurBhandarkar and Vicky Kaushal were also on
hand to say a few words. Online, industry favorite like ShahidKapoor (“Wishing
Shailendra Singh the best for his directorial debut. The journey is the
destination!”) andVarunDhawan (“I’m completely along for the SMTT ride!”)
shared the teaser, while even RajdeepSardesai sent his congratulations to the
Debut Director.Ranveer Singh texted, “Amazing trailer. Can’t wait to watch!”
The music arm of India’s leading television, media and
entertainment company – Zee Music Company - has acquired the music rights to
the film and launched the SMTT album in Mumbai. Industry stalwarts and
superstars of the Bollywood entertainment - RohitDhawan(“Kick-ass trailer!”),
Salim-Sulaiman, Vishal-Shekhar(SMTT looks fresh and exciting!”)andSajidWajid
–united at the music launch to celebrate the film. The guest of honor for the
evening was Farah Khan, who said, “Shailendra is a passionate man. Anything he
sets his mind to, he does. All my wishes and blessings are with this movie.”
While it is his Directorial Debut, Shailendra is no
stranger to the film industry. As one of Bollywood’s most prolific Producers,
he has produced and released over 72 feature films and 2000 ad
films in his 30
year career. He is also credited with launching the careers of many of
Bollywood’s hottest talents.
Besides launching Sunny Kaushal as the lead – Vicky
Kaushal’s talented younger brother – it’s no surprise that the Shailendra also
sourced fresh, young talent for his movie album. In the very first film that he
ever produced and released in Bollywood – Pyaar Mein KabhiKabhi (PMKK) –
Shailendra debuted over 170
new talents. This included Vishal-Shekhar and Salim-Sulaiman, Shaan and
Mahalaxmi.
While debuting as writer and Director, Shailendra Singh
launches the dynamic duo of Adam & Eddie, who have created an album which
is true to the young, hip travelling film. Together, they have also had the
guts to be able to re-record - with a deep, Indian soul - the massive
blockbuster You are My Sunshine, by Johnny Cash. “I can guarantee this song
especially is going to be stuck in everyone’s head, and on the tips of their
tongues,” says Shailendra.
The other hot Adam & Eddie original tracks to watch
out for are: Main JeeRahaHoon, Chamdi Boys and Na Ho Paayi. A particular
favorite of the Sunny Kauhsal’s is the catchy and mellow, Phir se UddChala.
But
the Director says that the real hero of the film - produced by Hayre
Entertainment - is actually the notion that ‘dreams really do come true’, if
you want them bad enough. The story is based around a group of young and trendy
strangers from very diverse backgrounds, who come together in order to chase
after one very big dream. “There are about 14 unique, charming characters,” says
Shailendra. “Each person in the audience will fall in love with a different
crazy, mad character.”
The film releases in theaters on Sept 2, 2016.
