Biopic on Gujarat Chief Minister announced!

There's a new biopic in line for Bollywood and this time it will be on
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, as
per reports. Producer-Director Mitesh Patel has planned to make the
biopic and is even looking for the permission from Mr. Modi.

Confirming the news, Patel said, "I am inspired by Narendra Modi's
journey from a common tea stall owner to a Chief-Minister."

Mitesh Patel, who originallycomes from Vadodara, Gujarat, is settled
in USA (California). He was quite impressed and inspired by the
Narendra Modi's journey from a tea-stall vendor to a renowned
politico.

He added, "I will try to cover various parts of his life — his
childhood, working as a ground level RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh)
member, to becoming the Gujarat CM."

Patel even said that the film will not completely be a biopic as it
will have some fictional elements in it.

Over seeking Modi's consent, he reportedly said, "I met Modi to get
his consent for the film, which he says, "will
not be a biopic, but will be based on his life. We'll add fictional
elements. The script is not 100% about his life. Technically, we don't
need permission, but we sought it as we don't want trouble."

However, biopic has become the recent trend in B-Town. From Milan
Luthria's 'Dirty Picture' (a biopic on south sex symbol Silk Smitha),
Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Paan Singh Tomar' (biopic on a runner), Mani
Ratnam's 'Guru' (a biopic on life of Dhiru Bhai Ambani), Shimit Amin's
'Chak De India' (a biopic on Indian Hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi) to
the recent Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra's 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' (biopic on
legendary athlete Mikha Singh); biopics have always liked and welcomed
by audiences.

Salman’s Ganpati changes abode

Salman Khan's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations will have a bigger and
better venue this year. The actor has hosted Lord Ganesha at his
Bandra home for the past eleven years but this year the ceremonies
will take place at the Khan family's Panvel farmhouse.

The reason for the change of plans is the ongoing renovations at the
actor's Galaxy Apartments pad. The family was earlier considering
hosting the pooja at their new residence at Pacific Heights but on
Monday they decided that Panvel will be a better choice.

A source close to the family said, "The new house is a rented place
and the farmhouse is far more spacious and comfortable, so they
decided on it" When contacted, Salim Khan said, "Yes, we are thinking
of organising the Ganpati celebration at Panvel. Galaxy of course is
ruled out because we are renovating the place."

Salman's sisters Alvira and Arpita plan to reach the farmhouse three
days before the festival begins on September 9 to oversee preparations
including food and decor.This is the 12th year that the
elephant-headed God is visiting the Khan residence and the tradition
was started at the insistence of Arpita, the youngest of the siblings.

The Khans will also do the visarjan at Panvel, close to their
farmhouse. Non-vegetarian food and alcohol is banned in the days ahead
of the festival. Instead, Salman's mother turns out delicacies like
modak, puri, aloo bhaji and chana usal.

Meanwhile... Mental may soon get a new moniker Salman's next film
Mental may release as Jai Ho instead. But the change will not be an
easy one as the producer of the film, Sohail Khan, needs no objection
letters, from Ramesh Taurani, Nikhil Advani and Madhur Bhandarkar, as
the three had registered the same title a couple of years ago.

At the time of going to press, we learnt that Nikhil has already
cleared the decks for Sohail while Ramesh will deliberate on the issue
after getting back from his Bangkok holiday. "Nobody has called me for
the title yet. I will come back and check on this," Ramesh told us.

Bhandarkar, who parted with the title Gutka for Karan Johar some
months back, too is yet to issue the letter.TOI has it that Sohail is
also toying with the idea of naming the film Aazad.

Issue on screens for 'OUATIMD' is unfounded: Shah Rukh

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan says the issue over the allotment of screens
for the release of Ekta Kapoor's 'Once Upon A time In Mumbai Dobaara'
is a little unfounded as 'Chennai Express' producers UTV did make way
for Balaji's request.

Ekta's mother Shobha Kapoor, who
released Akshay Kumar starrer 'Once
Upon...' a week later on August 15, had
expressed disappointment with UTV over the sharing of screens.

Shah Rukh said the commitment from
the producers UTV was well clarified with the makers of 'Once Upon...'
and he was not involved in any discussion.

"We had booked single screen theatres
for two weeks. A desire came from there
(Balaji) that look we are coming on August 15 and can you give us some
theatres. I don't do the business, they
(UTV) said we will give you 40 to 50 per cent(screen space) which we did," Shah
Rukh told PTI in an interview.

"Our film was earlier supposed to release on Thursday, it then got
shifted to Friday, a week means seven days and everyone has the right
to run their film for seven days. So seven days got over and we gave
them the theatres on Friday. If there is an issue or complaint about
this, I think it is little unfounded," he said.

The makers of 'Once Upon...' had pushed
the release date of their film to August
15 to avoid a clash with 'Chennai Express'
at SRK's request.

There were media reports that Ekta was
assured by the production house that
they will withdraw their film on August
15 to make way for 'OUATIMD' in at least
2,000 halls across the country.

"I think sometimes when you talk about
the business part then you start taking
my name because I stand for the
business part of Red Chillies or I am the
face of this film. I don't think there is any
reason, as far as UTV is concerned, to have an issue with Balaji. As far as I
am concerned I was not part of the
business," Shah Rukh said.

Last year, Ajay Devgn and Yash Raj Films
also had a similar issue over the number
of screens alloted for the release of 'Son
of Sardaar' and late Yash Chopra's 'Jab
Tak Hai Jaan'.

Ajay had alleged that YRF used its
dominant position following which his
movie ('Son of Sardaar') was unable to
find enough single screen theatres for
exhibition.

Recollecting the matter, Shah Rukh said,
"Yashji had expired and 'Son of Sardaar'
was coming, Ajay is a friend... I could
have gone and requested him that out of
respect do it(change the release date).
But I did not.

"Everybody has the right to release the
film as and when they wish to. I don't
think this 'OUATIMD' was a small film, I
don't think it was backed by small
producers. They had the right to release
it when they wanted. If they wanted to release it on August 8, God bless them
and if they wanted to release it on
August 15, their decision," he said.

When asked if what the makers of
'OUATIMD' were doing was unfair, the
actor said, "No, not at all, you have a
platform to say what you have to. They
might be feeling it that way."

Shah Rukh is happy with the response his
film is garnering at the box office. "I knew it was a holiday period. I think
every film that comes around this time
will have a little benefit of Eid,
Independence day or Raksha Bandhan.
We were little anxious but we knew we
had a good product. But we had not expected this
kind of love and acceptance," he said.

"This level of acceptance... it happens
magically. We can't calculate such things
in advance. We did not know 'Dilwale
Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' will be loved for 18
years. Kajol, Adi and me did not know
that it will do so well," he said. Shah Rukh says he never keeps a tab on
box office collection but with the kind of
response Rohit Shetty directed 'Chennai
Express' is garnering it is becoming
unavoidable for him to not pay attention
to the figures.

The 'King Khan' is happy that even his
children Aryan and Suhana have loved the
film.

"I never talk acting or films at home,
neither they do. So when they start liking
something it feels really great. I feel very
proud when they like my work. My son
saw the film 'Chennai Express' with 40 of
his friends and they all liked it. Normally, my kids don't discuss or
talk about my
films at home but this film they discussed
a lot and I am thrilled they did it," he
added.

Salman Khan - the original trendsetter of Bollywood

As Salman celebrates 25 years in the industry, here's looking at his
trendsetting moments

FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW:
Salman Khan debuted in Bollywood feet first, literally. The film was
Biwi Ho To Aisi which released on August 22 1988. With Bonny Tyler's
Holding Out For A Hero blasting in the background, his feet bound onto
the screen, in an un-coordinated jig. We soon get our first glimpse of
the would-be superstar. Before the bad reputation and the shaved
chest, here is the actor as a floppy haired young man with no bulging
biceps to boast of.

DIRTY DANCING:
If Salman shakes his derriere, the rest of the world follows and the
actor is to blame for all the pelvic thrusting we see on dance floors
across the country. Be it the towel dance from Mujhse Shaadi Karoge or
the choreography of Dabangg which uses a belt as a prop, the complete
lack of finesse does not seem to deter Salman fans. The moves are then
replicated everywhere, from reality TV to kinder garten talent
contests.

HAIR RAISING STUFF:
Salman's fans are a loyal bunch and they readily follow their idol
into territories beyond good taste. A prime example is the infamous
Tere Naam haircut. The actor played a man driven to madness by love
and Salman's hair is testimony to the crazed state of the character's
mind, gelled, long tresses parted in the middle. No one in his right
mind would have emulated the look but millions of Sallu fans did and a
trend was born.

SHIRT OFF HIS BACK:
The actor's hairy chest was splashed across the poster of the 1989
release Maine Pyaar Kiya, with Bhagyashree clinging to his knee. There
began the macho posturing which has since become Salman's signature
stance. It was after his 1988 hit Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya that his
torso gained a fan following of its own. All and sundry have since
joined the six-pack pack but no one does it better or more often than
Salman, the original bare- chested hero.

BLUE EYED BEAUTY:
The Katrinas and the Aishwaryas may come and go, but a certain Feroza
has stood by Salman through it all. The actor is rarely seen without
his chunky bracelet with a blue stone and the accessory is now as much
a part of Salman's pop culture oeuvre as his shiny, slippery chest.
The bracelet is a Khan family tradition with Sallu's father Salim Khan
too sporting one. The latest nod to Feroza came with Imran Khan
sporting a similar one in OUATIMD.

Movie Review | Madras Cafe

Cast: John Abraham, Nargis Fakhri, Rashi Khanna, Siddharth Basu, Ajay Rathnam

Direction: Shoojit Sircar

Genre: Thriller

Duration: 2 hours 10 minutes

Straight up, Madras Cafe couldn't be more different to director Shoojit
Sircar's Vicky Donor. Political, tense, finally explosive, Madras Cafe
is no picnic in the neighborhood park. Major Vikram
Singh (Abraham lands in Sri Lanka,
heading RAW's covert operations. He must
work with colleague Bala to get Anna Bhaskaran (Rathnam),
head of the rebel LTF group - "Also known
as Tigers" - to accept a peaceful
resolution. Vikram knows Anna will be a
huge challenge - what surprises him is
how many others he must face.

Madras Cafe dives boldly into terrain
Bollywood hasn't touched before. Its
arsenal features research, respect and
bravely, no songs. But it's not arty or
preachy anywhere. Its first half is layered,
complex trails - leaks, foreign interests, domestic rivals - slowly revealed to
Vikram. As RAW boss Robin Dutt (Basu)
ups the pressure, Vikram must move fast
through sultry, dangerous airs. His foreign
journalist friend Jaya (Fakhri, apparently
playing real-life journalist Anita Pratap, who first interviewed LTTE chief
Prabhakaran) knows this conflict's heart
even better than Vikram, whose
discoveries, from Sri Lanka to South Block,
grow traumatic.

Madras Cafe's true star is its story which
builds up to an agonizing end. It brings to
life the Lankan war which many viewers
were too young to have known. It
highlights India's ambiguous role, moving
sensitively, taking no sides, except those of relationships involving
respect - but no
romance - between Vikram and Jaya,
duty, victory and loss. Its second half
grows more fraught and taut,
conspiracies and compulsions becoming
clearer. John stays low-key and competent as Vikram while supporting
actors, like agents Bala, SP and Vasu,
stand out. Restrained performances by
the LTF suicide bombers are chilling.

The cinematography is remarkable, shots
of huge naval warships, helicopters
floating across hills, sunshine on a deadly
sea, haunting. Commendably, Sircar never
overindulges in gore, keeping Madras Cafe a shifting site of mental
violence. Madras Cafe deserves an extra half-star
for guts, going for the gunpowder - but
with a restrained hand.

Note: If you like typical Hindi movie
masala, unrealistic action or melodrama,
this movie is not for you.

‘Besharam’ Ranbir Kapoor copies ‘Veer’ Salman Khan!

Bollywood's chocolaty Barfi Ranbir Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned
to market his upcoming film Besharam. The actor was recently in Punjab
where he promoted his film in Black t-shirt which has the film's title
on it.

Meanwhile, if you are thinking that this is RK's unique idea of
promotion then you are completely mistaken! Yes, Ranbir has imitated
the same from Salman Khan, who promoted his flick 'Veer' in the same
way.

However this is something stunning for all of us as there was a cold
war going on between Salman and Ranbir due to the Rockstar actor's
closeness with Sallu's ex Katrina Kaif. And amid all the war of words,
Ranbir aping Salman is something strange. Isn't it?

Meanwhile, the film had already lured enough limelight after it was
alleged that music director Lalit Pandit copied an Italian song for
Love Ki Ghanti.

Directed by Abhinav Kashyap, Besharam stars Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi
Sharda. The film is scheduled to release on October 2, 2013.

girl in the movie.

We now understand that unlike what is

Salman's 25 years in B'wood: 12 lesser known facts about the actor

Salman Khan is the undisputed star of the Hindi film industry today.
All his films in the past couple of years have been Box Office smash
hits and he is one of the highest paid actors in the industry now.
From being brand ambassadors for several brands to being the host of
one of the most popular TV show, Salman's career as of now is enviable
for most of his contemporaries. The actor today completes 25 glorious,
eventful years in Bollywood.

Here are some lesser known facts about
the star who has found a new lease in his
career in his 40's.

1) Salman made his debut in 1988 in 'Biwi Ho Toh Aisi' as Farouq
Sheikh's younger brother. His first lead role was of course, in Sooraj
Barjatya's 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' in 1989 which gave him instant stardom.

2) Before he became a successful actor,
Salman Khan was a model. He had
modelled for brands like 'Hero Honda'
and 'Double Bull shirts'much before he
entered film industry.

3) Salman studied acting at actress Daisy Irani's acting institute
along with his friends Sajid Khan and Chunky Pandey.

4) Had it not been films, Salman may have chosen swimming as a career.
He was swimming champion in his school days and was tipped to
represent India at international events.

5) The actor wanted to be a writer. The
story of 'Baaghi: A rebel for Love' was
Salman's idea for which he was given
due credit. He also wrote films like 'Veer'
and 'Chandramukhi'. Unfortunately all
three films failed at the Box Office.

6) The actor has launched seven heroines in
Bollywood: Bhagyashree in 'Maine Pyar
Kiya'(1989), Nagma in 'Baaghi: A Rebel
For Love(1990), Chandni in 'Sanam
Bewafa'(1991), Bhumika Chawla in 'Tere
Naam'( 2003), Sneha Ullal in 'Lucky: No Time For Love'(2005), Zarine Khan in

singing for the film 'Hello Brother'.

other. Eventually they settled on being
onscreen for the same amount of time.

10) Rakesh Roshan's 'Karan Arjun' was the
first movie that featured the then good
friends Salman Khan and Shah Rukh
Khan. The film was originally called
'Kaynaat' and Ajay Devgn was the first
choice of Karan's role that was eventually played by Salman Khan. Salman was, in
fact, the first choice for the role that SRK
played in Abbas Mustan's 'Baazigar'.

11) He is the only actor to have had five back
to back 100 Crore plus films.
'Dabangg' (2010), 'Ready' (2011),

BOX OFFICE: Paid Previews Of ‘Chennai Express’ House-Full!

This year's most awaited film, 'Chennai Express', directed by Rohit
Shetty and starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, is finally
released today. As expected, the box office anticipation is extremely
high.

Produced by Shah Rukh Khan's banner
Red Chillies Productions, 'Chennai
Express' is probably one of the biggest
Bollywood releases this year.
Expectations are already sky- high, with
the film grabbing eyeballs everywhere. Add to that is the festive season, and it
sure looks like the 'Chennai Express'
team has a true-blue winner on their
hands.

We spoke to a few top officials at multiplexes and single screen theatres,
to get a sense of what they predict will
be the opening for the film:

As Cinemax Deputy GM-Corporate Communications and Public Relations Mr.
Girish Wankhede says, "The buzz for
'Chennai Express' is awesome. For today,
all the paid previews are going housefull, while tomorrow also there
is heavy bookings. There is also block bulk
bookings for the weekend, so we predict
for the first two days the occupancy will
be a full 100%. Saturday and Sunday also
looks promising, with the occupancy will
be not less than 90%."

"I won't comment on which film's record
would be broken but I can confidently
say that Chennai Express is going to
create many records for sure, starting
with Paid Previews."

Elaborating on the reason for the
inclusion of paid previews, he said: "We
are glad to screen 10-12 shows on
Thursday itself for two reasons. First and
foremost the buzz is very high and it
makes sense to capitalize on that. Secondly, there is no other
blockbuster in the running that can't be moved. From Friday onwards
there would be an
average of 20 shows at all our major
properties."

A spokesperson of a leading single
screen theatre in Bangalore, Rex
Theatres, agreed with Mr. Wankhede by
saying that buzz is extremely positive.
"Since the film is a festive release, and
add to that it is a big budget Shah Rukh Khan-starrer, buzz is tremendous.
Advance booking trends have been very
encouraging, as the preview shows this
evening are almost sold out. Tomorrow
being a holiday for Eid, we expect
nothing less than an average 90-95% occupancy."

Chennai Express Movie Review: A Total Paisa Vasool Entertainer

Least did the 40-year-old Rahul know
that wooing the beautiful Meenamma in
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ)
style would land him up in such
jeopardy. That was possibly the biggest
mistake of his life. But, this mistake was for good, or in fact the best that
was about to happen in his life.

After ruling the hearts of the audience
for decades as Rahul, Shahrukh is back
in his trademark DDLJ romance in his
latest release Chennai Express, but this
time in Rohit Shetty 'ishtyle'. Chennai
Express is a super masala entertainment and promises a great deal of laughter as
expected from the typical Rohit Shetty
style flicks.

Story:-

It all starts when the 40-year-old
bachelor Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) boards
Chennai Express train that turns out to
be a life changing decision for him. SRK
as Rahul does a DDLJ again, when he
tries hard to woo the South beauty Meenamma Lochni (Deepika Padukone).
Fate plays a twist in such a way that
Rahul gets entrapped with Meenamma,
who is the daughter of an intimidating
south don. Both Rahul and Meenamma
try to elope, but everytime they fail to do so and end up in trouble.

Chennai Express will leave you
whistling, laughing and applauding in
the theatres. The flick is a thorough
entertainer as long as you don't search
for logic in it. Chennai Express makes an
impressive start, especially the train scene, where Shahrukh Khan meets
Deepika Padukone, is just hilarious.

Like almost all the Rohit Shetty movies,
even this one doesn't fail to offer good
dose of over the top action. Adding on
to this, the film also astonishes the mass
through its marvelous cinematography.
It gives you a rich desi village flavour, based on a South backdrop setting.

Performances:

Shahrukh Khan is splendid and
delightful. Even at 47, Khan retains his
old boyish charm onscreen. Though
there's a bit of overacting in parts by
SRK, on the whole, he's the soul of the
Chennai Express.

Deepika Padukone is a complete
stunner. Forget her breathtaking looks
as a South chick, Dippy does an
incredible act in the flick. She lets
herself loose and surrenders to her
character completely. Her performance is impressive.

Nikitin Dheer does justice to his
villainous act, while South star
Sathyaraj doesn't get much opportunity
to prove himself in the film.


Verdict:

Chennai Express is a light-hearted
entertainer, that stands strong and tall
on the shoulders of the super powerful
'Brand Shahrukh Khan'. It is colourful,
fascinating, fun-filled and yes, of course
not a mindless slapstick. And remember, you are going to watch comedy, drama,
lots of comic action and flying cars! In
one word, this one is a total paisa
vasool entertainer.

Rating: 4/5

Movie Review: Chennai Express

Star- Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sathyaraj, Nikitin Dheer;

Director- Rohit Shetty;

Music- Vishal &
Shekhar

The comedy along with the action is
rarely served with equal entertainment in today's cinema. We discern
Rohit Shetty for his mass leisure which includes cars fluttering from
the unknown corners and comedy which isn't slapstick but works.

What is amusing here is how Shetty
keeps these two triumphing facets at
the forth and submerges it with Southern touch along with SRK's
trademark romance in 'Chennai
Express'. Though for some it might sound a mix and mash of numerous
odd ingredients which might produce
a sour recipe in the end. But here is
where Rohit excels in. He carries the
intriguing premises with responsibility
without exploiting or hurtling any regional sentiments.

[URL=/starreport/albums/showpic.dml?album=14701582&picture=196653172][IMG=http://files.myopera.com/starreport/albums/14701582/chea2.jpg][/IMG][/URL]

He brings out the regional diction out
of Deepika (who chews the words and
deliver it with finesse) so brilliantly
that one might mistake her as South
actress, though we know that she will
be star opposite Rajinikanth soon.

Rohit Shettyy has shot Kerela
beautifully. He allows his cameraman
to zoom into the attractive hilly locales
like Meeshapulimala, Devikulam Lake,
Kannimala and Wagavara. Letting the
intoxicating beauty prevail, Rohit wastes no extra duration to bring
forth his business of combat which
shifts the focus from the blooming
romance of Deepika-SRK to the initial
avenge.

[URL=/starreport/albums/showpic.dml?album=14701582&picture=196653392][IMG=http://files.myopera.com/starreport/albums/14701582/chea3.jpg][/IMG][/URL]

It begins when Rahul (Shah Rukh
Khan) a well educated man from
North India is on a vacation. He boards
in Chennai Express by mistake where
he meets Meenamma ( Deepika
Padukone) a south Indian girl whose father is a well known don. Some
goons kill the ticket checker of the
train whose sole witnesses are Rahul
and Meena.

Meena takes Rahul to her city until the
matter calms down. How Rahul gets
rid of the dirty gangster game that is
how the story revolves around.

[URL=/starreport/albums/showpic.dml?album=14701582&picture=196653912][IMG=http://files.myopera.com/starreport/albums/14701582/chea6.jpg][/IMG][/URL]

With an army of heavy assailants and
a big queue of sedans, the screen
never looks light-weighted. With
characters like Durgeshwara, a don in
Tamil Nadu (played by Sathyaraj) and
Tangaballi (Nikiteen Dheer) the battle looks one-sided but Shah Rukh's tricks
(action resembling Karan-Arjun)
balances it all.

If we consider SRK's performance he is
back as a charming Rahul who is a
romantic feat action hero. His screen
presence is delightful which none
could replace. He tickles your funny
bone, makes you emotional at times and when it comes to action he
doesn't exploits but takes the punch
and delivers the same with full
strength.

Deepika playing his lady love after 'Om
Shanti Om' is surprisingly amusing. Her
Southern dialect sounds cute and she
looks innocent and beautiful.

[URL=/starreport/albums/showpic.dml?album=14701582&picture=196654142][IMG=http://files.myopera.com/starreport/albums/14701582/chea5.jpg][/IMG][/URL]

The veteran star Sathyaraj leaves a
desired effect with his villainous act
and this would surely bring him more
glory. The muscular Nikitin Dheer is
good.

Music by Vishal-Shekhar is great.
However, before its release the music
wasn't the high point of the flick but
there is some vitality which you can't
ignore and would love to watch the
songs on Youtube. Kashmir se Kanya Kumari and Tera Rasta tracks are my
favourites.

Aditya Roy Kapur and Ranbir Kapoor bond over Cars!

Aditya Roy Kapur who was last seen in two back to back blockbusters
got himself a new car.
Aditya and Ranbir Kapoor bonded a lot during Yeh Jaawani hai Deewani.
When Aditya got the car the 1st person he took for a drive was his
good friend Ranbir Kapoor.

Ranbir also shared his feelings with Aditya when he had got his first
new car with his own Money.

"Ranbir didn't drive the car, but I took him for a ride on the first
day itself. He is happy for me. Ranbir was like, 'I know how it feels
to buy your first big car. He told me how he felt when he got his
maiden vehicle. I guess the feelings are the same," says Aditya.

"He is a car junkie who is constantly updating and upgrading," says Aditya.
As for Aditya, he has bought a new car after driving a very old
vehicle for years. "Yes, it was famous for all the wrong reasons," he
says with a laugh. "I drove that car for many years. I still have my
old car and love it a lot. I feel, the more the merrier."

Bappi Lahiri to sing for Gunday

The disco king, Bappi Lahiri has been an
integral part of the industry. While his
music for The Dirty Picture was topping
the chartbusters, this talented musician
has been signed again for a Yash Raj
production. Earlier reports suggested that Priyanka will be doing a
cabaret number for her upcoming film Gunday with Arjun and Ranveer.

While the actress will be grooving to the
jazz music of Kolkatta, music composer
Sohail Sen believes that Bappi Lahiri is
the apt choice to lend voice for Arjun and
Ranveer in the song. This song will be a
combination of jazz with brass and drums, and will represent the 80s era.
Also, this special number will be the
introductory song for Priyanka Chopra in
the film.
