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!"

Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Porus After A Successful Run To Weave Into ChandraGupta Maurya

Porus, which recently completed 200 episodes, has been the no.1 fiction show on Sony for most of its run!  With a loyal fan base across age groups, Porus is Indian Television's first 'global' series, airing in various countries internationally.  We hear that the show, which was always a finite series, will soon be weaving into another tale.

When we reached out to Siddharth to find out more about the upcoming story he revealed, "Porus was always planned as a limited series and we will end it as planned, but as we say...every end is a new beginning, for the first time in Indian television one story will move into another seamlessly, it's like one chapter ends and the second starts in a linear format. The key characters from Porus will take the story ahead in Chandragupta Maurya who was one of the biggest warriors of our country and had created a United India against foreign invasion."

Now this is a first happening ever on Indian Television and we're excited to find out about the progression coming up for Porus!
