For Ajay Devgn in a presenter’s role, this is going back to his roots in many ways. A Punjabi himself and having played the Singham character, this is home turf.

Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series was the first Hindi film studio who made lavish budget Punjabi films back in the day.

We had previously made couple of films in Punjabi with budgets no one even imagined investing for regional cinema back then. When the decision of producing Punjabi films was done,  producing Singham remake was the right call. The audience is going to love it.”

This also marks the first in the Punjabi space for Panorama Studios, the studio behind Raid, Drishyam, Special Chabbis, and the Pyaar Ka Punchnama films.

Abhishek Pathak, Managing Director, Panorama Studios said “The Singham character played by Ajay Devgn is a household name across the country and Singham the film is one of the most successful franchises in Indian cinema. Punjabi films are big locally and have a large following overseas too. We felt a Punjabi remake with an interesting take on Singham would be the perfect choice for our entry into the Punjab film industry and with the combo of Parmish, Sonam and Director Navaniat Singh we are sure the audience are going to love this entertainer.”

Filming started 16th November.

Kajol turns into a tease on the sets of Helicopter Eela

Kajol has been the talk of the town for her relatable mommy-avatar in the upcoming film, Helicopter Eela. Directed by Pradeep Sarkar, the film beautifully sketches the journey of a single mother, quite overprotective about her teenage son, played by the National Award-Winner, Riddhi Sen.

Owning her absolutely witty self on and off screen, Kajol turned into a complete tease on the sets of the Helicopter Eela and guess who became the scapegoat? It was none other than her reel son, Riddhi who tagged as ‘National Award Winner’ during the entire shoot of the film.

Ridhhi, who was touched by Kajol’s affection and support behind the camera, throws light on the funny instances that took place throughout the schedule. He says, “Kajol ma’am and I developed a strong bond in a very short span of time. She knew I had recently won an award for my work. One day she once addressed me as ‘National Award Winner’ instead of calling my name and in no time, it spread across the entire crew and eventually everybody just copied it. Till date, I am called ‘National Award Winner’ by all of them and this shall stick with me more than forever.”

Helicopter Eela also stars Neha Dhupia in a pivotal role and is all set to shine brightly for its endearing narrative this October. With such funny elements rolling in, we surely can’t wait to watch the film in theatres soon.

Ajay Devgn & Jayantilal Gada (Pen) presents, co-produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak, Vikrant Sharma, Reshmaa Kadakia, Kushal Kantilal Gada, Neeraj Gala and produced by Ajay Devgn, Dhaval Jayantilal Gada, Aksshay Jayantilal Gada, Helicopter Eela is all set to release on 12th October 2018.

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!”
