Actor-turned-producer Sonu Sood, who is gearing up for his second production – a biopic on badminton player P.V.Sindhu – says that it is very challenging to produce a biopic of a 22 year old.

“Sometimes in a story there is a climax, a pre-climax and a story behind it. So sometimes you just focus on a climax and then build a story. But for me, its not the climax but the story, the journey which inspired me to make this film. And we are taking notes of people who all thought that biopics on a 21 or 22-year-old is not the right time.

“I think its more challenging for us to prove them wrong, that the film will be something that will inspire people,” said Sonu, who was present at the unveiling of the ‘Health and Nutrition’ magazine on Wednesday. The magazine cover shows Sonu flaunting his abs.

About the film, Sonu said: “Badminton is just the canvas of the film but the story is about the girl from a small town and how did she achieve her goals.”

He said that the story would be very inspirational and people will definitely connect with it.

The actor, who is one of the fittest actor in Bollywood, says: “I think fitness and doing gym should be like brushing teeth everyday in the morning as it should come automatically without any excuse.”

Sonu, who was last seen in the action-adventure comedy film “Kung Fu Yoga” opposite superstar Jackie Chan, shared his experience of working with him.

“Working with Jackie Chan was one of the most phenomenal experiences, I won’t say that he is the most grounded actor but he is the most grounded human being i have ever seen,” he said.

Sonu was recently trolled on internet for the Azaan controversy raked by singer Sonu Nigambut as people got confused between the two, targeting the “Happy New Year” actor. However, he said: “I enjoyed it. I was in Punjab and my friends called me and told me about it, I was not even aware about what was happening.”

Sonu, who had worked with Vinod Khanna, who recently died, in “Dabbang” feels blessed for the same. “I was blessed to work with Vinodji. We had spend many days together , I always used to feel that he has achieved so much and yet he had that hunger to give his best,” he said.

“I would say he was the true superstar industry was blessed with,” he added.

Sonu will be next seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Padmavati”, a period drama starring Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.

One always Knew Jackie Chan could do anything but we never imagined him doing thumkas with Disha Patani and Sonu Sood.

Ever since the trailer for the Jackie Chan and Sonu Sood starrer Kung Fu Yoga was released a few days back, people have been super excited for the film. After all, it’s not everyday that you see the Chinese superstar and our very own Chhedi Singh in one frame.

However, more than the action, people were excited about Jackie shaking a leg to our desi Bollywood tunes. And the wait was finally over when a song titled Goosebump was released recently.

Yes, Goosebump. Not Goosebumps.

There’s just one Goosebump.

Sung by Fazilpuria (of Ladki beautiful, kar gayi chull fame) and choreographed by Farah Khan Kunder, the song showcases Chan having the time of his life as he shakes a leg with Sood and Co.

To be honest, the song is kinda catchy. Check it out right here.

Legendary action star Jackie Chan, who is here to promote his forthcoming film “Kung Fu Yoga”, met Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, during his visit.

Salman posted a photograph with the “Rush Hour” star from their meeting on Monday. The image shows the two actors posing with two stuffed panda toys, sharing a light moment for the camera.

Previously, Salman had thanked Chan on Twitter for offering this film to his “Dabangg” co-star Sonu Sood.

Sonu had replied to the “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” star by tweeting: “Bhai Salman Khan I have an unusual power-packed surprise for you. See you soon in India… Pandeji Hum aah rahe hai. Jackie Chan.”

“Kung Fu Yoga” is part of the three-film agreement signed between China and India during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to India.

The film also stars actors Disha Patani, Sonu Sood, Amyra Dastur and Sonu Sood. Directed by Stanley Tong, the action comedy film was shot in India, Dubai and Beijing.

Battle of the blockbusters: ‘Kaabil’ versus ‘Raees’

Are Hrithik and Sussanne back together?

“Tutak Tutak Tutiya” is designed as a grand farce where everyone gets to have a wish come true. Prabhudheva gets to try out his doddering comic timing in scenes that are written in mock-horrific loops. And goodness, what is that thick Tamilian accent doing in the Hindi version of a film that has a Telugu and Tamil version?

Farah Khan who thinks she can act gets to play dance-show judge. It’s like Arnab Goswami playing a new anchor. Then there is Sonu Sood who gets to play Superstar Raj Khanna.

This is a film that will give you sleepless nights for days to come…That’s after you come out of a daze brought on by Tamannaah as she transforms from a devoted domesticated housewife into a slithering hip-shaking lip-pouting diva star as Ruby.

Please note. Good girls wear saris, stay at home to look after their husband’s home while he goes out to flirt with women in skirts pretending to be a bachelor . Tammannah who is a competent performer goes from dazed housewife to dazzling film star with as much enthusiasm as a cook moving from brinjal curry to dahi vada.

For some strange reason she is repeatedly shown in a state of just-had-bath with a towel tied around her hair.

Prabhudheva who is a devastating dancer is here cast as a selfish, uncaring husband. He is an office goer who gives his biodata to every single girl hoping she would become his girlfriend. The man is a borderline stalker in this monstrously improper comedy-horror. Prabhudheva is shown bullying, slapping, heckling and haranguing women including his wife. It’s a bloody embarrassment for the actor and he looks as though he was being forced to keep a dentist’s appointment which he would rather skip.

A broad crass comedy may work if the actors believe in the material, no matter how outrageous it may be. Here in the film, the performers go through the motions as though stuck in the loo with constipation. The odds of their conquering the inertia that is so clearly mapped on their faces remains at the most, bleak.

There is very little in this film to brighten up the proceedings. Unless those rumbustious Bhangra numbers put a beat in your feet. Two of them feature Esha Gupta and Amy Jackson. But don’t get your hopes too high. Amy doesn’t even dance. She just stands around looking bored watching others shake a leg. This was where I could identify with a character’s emotion.

Stay away from this dead meat posing as freshly baked barbecue. Revenge they say, is best served cold. The film serves it piping hot. We, and poor Prabhudheva, must have done something terribly wrong to deserve this.

Actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who is gearing up for the release of upcoming trilingual horror-comedy “Devi”, says nothing could excite her more than the opportunity to share screen space with actor-filmmaker Prabhudheva. “When director Vijay told me that Prabhudheva will be playing the lead, I was filled with joy and nothing could have excited me more. I had always idolized him and had even performed at a tribute show for him. I had always wanted to meet him,” Tamannaah. In the film, Tamannaah plays a dual role of a simple housewife and of an actress.
“It’s a film that holds a lot of responsibility and excitement. I’m playing the titular role for the first time in my career and that makes everything even more special,” she said.

Directed by Vijay, the film releases worldwide on October 7, as “Abhinetri” in Telugu and as “Tutak Tutak Tutiya” in Hindi.

Talking about her solo number “Gokka Makka”, which has already given audiences a glimpse of Tamannaah’s stunning moves, she said it’s very close to her heart. “It took us 15 days to rehearse the song, and followed by two more days of shoot. By the time we finished shooting, I became emotional,” she recalled.

The film is Tamannaah’s first trilingual, and it was wrapped up in 58 days.

“It’s not a joke to complete a trilingual film in 58 days. The credit goes to my director and the producers who ensured everything was well planned and executed. There are three producers and each one of them was so involved,” she said.
The film also stars Sonu Sood, who had produced the Hindi version.
