First Look of Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha for the recreated track ‘Mungda’ from Total Dhamaal

Sonakshi Sinha recreates Helen’s iconic track ‘Mungda’ for Indra Kumar ‘upcoming film, Total Dhamaal. The actress will be seen shaking a leg for this special number along with Ajay Devgn.

The song has been directed by Kookie Gulati, talking about it, he shares, "Kookie Gulati who directed Mungda shares, “For a particular situation in the film, we needed a young & energetic song to keep with the pace of the film. That’s when the idea of ‘Mungda’ came into place.  When we heard the recreated version by Gourov – Roshin, we wanted someone who could match up the beats of the song! We immediately thought of Sonakshi Sinha – she has a unique & an amazing blend to reach the youth as well as the masses. I’ll tell you Sonakshi Sinha fits this song perfectly. She is a great dancer with a very expressive face. We got Adil Shaikh to do the choreography and he’s killed it! Mohit Rai helped putting her look together, Durga Prasad built the set and was shot by ace DOP Keiko Nakahara. We are keeping the energy of the old track but taking it to the next level in scale and look. It was incredible that Indra Kumar, Ajay Devgn & Ashok Thakeria had faith in me and trusted me with this huge responsibility! I think we had a dream team and the results are there for everyone to see.”   

Sonakshi Sinha shares, "It was great reuniting with Ajay sir after Son Of Sardaar on this song and this film. I have really enjoyed the Dhamaal franchise and was thrilled when they asked me to be a part of it! The entire song shoot went off fantastically and was super fun!"

Mudassar Aziz comes to Sonakshi Sinha’s rescue on the sets of Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi in Amritsar!

While Sonakshi Sinha’s character Harpreet aka Happy in Eros International & Aanand L Rai’s Colour Productions’ Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi hails from Amritsar, the makers had to shoot a scene featuring her in a crowded market area.

In spite of trying to achieve it with as much production strength and planning as possible, a massive crowd turned up which was uncontrollable and finally filmmaker Mudassar Aziz had to cancel the shot! It became extremely difficult to even escort Sonakshi back to her car.

Mudassar informs, “We had ample security but the kind of crowd that turned out, it was not easy for four to five security personnel to handle the situation and I had to step in. Since I was closest to Sonakshi, I somehow managed to take her safely to the car,” and elaborates, “There was an over enthusiastic person who was trying to reach out to Sonakshi for a picture and since I was coming in his way, he let his elbow go on my back which kept paining for the next two days.”

The team came up with a plan the following day when Mudassar kept a camera in a carthroughout and escorted Sonakshi to the location in a burkha! She got rid of the burkha in the middle of the road when everything was absolutely ready and the team managed to get the shot!

Presented by Eros International and Aanand L Rai, A Colour Yellow Production produced by Aanand L Rai & Krishika Lulla, Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi releases on August 24.

Sonakshi's Gujju Look for Welcome To New York

Actor Sonakshi Sinha is known to be able to pull off any look, be it the ultra-modern or the conventional. She began with the desi village belle in her debut film ‘Dabangg’ but has since been seen in various avatars in her films. 

‘Welcome To New York’ which releases on February 23rd, 2018 and has been creating a storm on the internet ever since its poster launch with its hilarious punches has Sonakshi playing a Gujarati fashion designer, Jinal Patel in the film. The look is very different and Sonakshi has always been able to carry it off. 

For Jinal's quirky look, Sonakshi teams up Kurtis with bindi and accessories. Her look has been put together by her college batchmate, Eka Lakhani. 

Sonakshi says, " Eka has understood the quirks of the character really well and applied it to her fashion! I was really happy with all the elements she put together to give Jinal Patel a very different, quirky and individual style, a style she can call her own". The character is supposed to be somebody who is an aspiring fashion designer and has her own quirky sense of fashion. To go with the quirks in her personality, we added certain quirks to her look too and that really added to the character. 

Stylist Eka Lakhani says, Sonakshi’s look was supposed to be fun, quirky.. yet it had to have a slightly ‘off’ or slightly ‘weird’ feel to it. So while we made her look fun, we also gave a slightly quirky vibe to her overall look. 

Director Chakri Toleti says, "It was fun working with Sonakshi, and she took on the role like a fish to water. Moreover, with her comic timing, she was able to bring out the very best. 

‘Welcome To New York’ is a heartfelt, rib-tickling comedy that tells the story of two unlikely youngsters living in India in search of a better life for themselves. An unexpected trip to New York City sets them off on a comedic adventure that changes their lives forever. 

Produced by Pooja Entertainment (India) Ltd in association with Wiz Films and Directed by Chakri Toleti, ‘Welcome To New York’ releases worldwide on February 23rd, 2018

Sonakshi is NOTEworthy, says astrologer

Sonakshi Sinha had once been told by an astrologer that books are lucky for her. She isn’t much of a reader or even superstitious but, the statement amused her.

Sonakshi was not sure if the astrologer meant religious books or was recommending her to buy some book, so she let it pass without giving it much thought but the statement stuck with her.

Now, looking back on what the astrologer said has piqued her curiosity since Lootera and Noor are both book adaptations.

Her character Pakhi in Lootera got her a lot of love and appreciation from the audiences. It is a film that is really close to her heart and Pakhi is a role she is yet fondly remembered for.

With Noor's trailer and songs receiving positive reactions, Sonakshi has been really excited for the film. It baffles Sonakshi that what the Astrologer had said is actually true or is the thought just playing on her mind. She shares "I don't believe in these things but, it is a happy coincidence. Noor and Lootera both are films very close to my heart."

Let’s hope what the astrologer had said is true because we too, are really excited about Noor.

अक्षय कुमार को इंग्लैंड में नमस्ते करेगी सोनाक्षी सिन्हा

निर्माता-निर्देशक विपुल शाह की फिल्म नमस्ते इंग्लैंड में अक्षय कुमार की नायिका सोनाक्षी सिन्हा होंगी।  अक्षय कुमार और सोनाक्षी सिन्हा ने एक साथ अब तक छह फ़िल्में की हैं।  सोनाक्षी सिन्हा पहली बार फिल्म राउडी राठौर में अक्षय कुमार की नायिका बनी। यह फिल्म सुपर हिट हुई।  लेकिन, इस जोड़ी की अगली फिल्म जोकर बुरी तरह से असफल हुई।  इस जोड़ी की तीसरी फिल्म वन्स अपॉन अ टाइम इन मुंबई दोबारा भी फ्लॉप हुई।  चौथी फिल्म हॉलिडे : अ सोल्जर इज़ नेवर ऑफ ड्यूटी हिट साबित हुई।  अक्षय कुमार की दो फिल्मों ओएमजी: ओह माय गॉड और बॉस में सोनाक्षी सिन्हा की मेहमान भूमिका थी।  इस प्रकार से नमस्ते इंग्लैंड सोनाक्षी सिन्हा की अक्षय कुमार के साथ सातवीं फिल्म है।  विपुल शाह कहते हैं, "इस फिल्म में सोनाक्षी सिन्हा का रोल बिलकुल अलग है।" जहाँ तक अक्षय कुमार के दर्शकों का सवाल है, वह चाहते थे कि नमस्ते इंग्लैंड में अक्षय कुमार की नायिका कैटरिना कैफ बने, जो  नमस्ते लंदन में उनकी नायिका थी।  इस जोड़ी ने आठ फ़िल्में हमको दीवाना कर गए, नमस्ते लंदन, वेलकम, सिंह इज़ किंग, ब्लू, दे दनादन, तीस मार खान और बॉम्बे टॉकीज एक साथ की हैं।  विपुल शाह कहते हैं, "नमस्ते इंग्लैंड अक्षय कुमार की २००७ की फिल्म नमस्ते लंदन का सीक्वल नहीं।  यह इसके बाद की फिल्म भी नहीं है।" ऐसे में अक्षय कुमार की कैटरिना कैफ के साथ जोड़ी ज़रूरी नहीं थी।  दर्शक अक्षय कुमार को जैक्विलिन फर्नांडीज़ या करीना कपूर या कीर्ति सेनन में से किसी के साथ देखना चाहते थे।  जैक्विलिन फिल्म हाउसफूल २ और ब्रदर्स में अक्षय कुमार की नायिका थी।  अक्षय कुमार ने करीना कपूर के साथ सबसे ज़्यादा फ़िल्में की हैं।  वह करीना कपूर के साथ अजनबी, तलाश, ऐतराज़, बेवफा, दोस्ती,  टशन, कमबख्त इश्क़ जैसी फ़िल्में कर चुके हैं।  कुछ फिल्मों में इनकी मेहमान भूमिकाएं थी।  उपरोक्त अभिनेत्रियों में कीर्ति सेनन का पक्ष सबसे ज़्यादा कमज़ोर था, क्योंकि उन्होंने अक्षय कुमार  की फिल्म सिंह इज़ ब्लिंग के ऊपर शाहरुख़ खान की फिल्म दिलवाले को तरजीह दी थी।  हालाँकि, अक्षय कुमार ने करीना कपूर के साथ सबसे ज़्यादा फ़िल्में की थी तथा कैटरिना कैफ के साथ हिट फिल्मों का प्रतिशत ज़्यादा था,   इसके बावजूद विपुल शाह ने सोनाक्षी सिन्हा को चुन तो ज़रूर सोनाक्षी में कोई बात रही होगी।  नमस्ते इंग्लैंड होने के बावजूद इस फिल्म की शूटिंग इंग्लैंड के अलावा पेरिस, स्विट्ज़रलैंड, ब्रुसेल्स और पंजाब में भी  होगी। फिल्म छह महीने के शिड्यूल में पूरी हो जाएगी।
