Chunky Panday embodies evil in poster of ‘Nayika Devi: The Warrior Queen’

Chunky Panday’s poster as the antagonist Muhammad Ghori from his Gujarati film ‘Nayika Devi: The Warrior Queen’ was released on Wednesday.

The film will mark the actor’s foray into Gujarati films and by the looks of it, he looks extremely convincing in his evil avatar.

In the poster, Chunky Pandey looks merciless and wily. Between everything menacing, belligerent, and surrounded by arrows, Chunky’s character of Muhammad Ghori stands with a sword in his hand and rage on his face. The actor seeped into the skin of the character with his kohled eyes, long grey hair, and dark-patterned authentic ensembles.

‘Nayika Devi: The Warrior Queen’ is Gujarati cinema’s first historic drama film that will be released by A Tree Entertainment. While the film is directed by Nitin G and produced by Umesh Sharma, the music is by Parth Thakkar and the lyrics are penned by Chirag Tripathi.

Speaking more about the poster, producer Umesh Sharma, said, “I’m truly delighted by the response we have received towards the movie till now. Chunky Panday is the best thing that could have happened to this film. He perfectly exemplifies the character and we cannot wait for people to uncover his jinx on-screen as Muhammad Ghori.”

Director Nitin G added, “This character belongs to Chunky Panday and he has efficiently carried the personality of Muhammad Ghori throughout the film, doing total justice to the character. We hope that people feel the same way.”

“I kept on inquiring about the well-being of the people who had worked for ‘RRR’ while we shot there in Ukraine. Some of them are fine, and some, I need to still get in touch with,” the ‘Simhadri’ director said.

Aroosa Khan talks about her rigorous prep for ‘Saare Bolo Bewafa’

Aroosa plays a pivotal role in ‘Bachchhan Paandey’, taking the narrative ahead. Aroosa reveals her rigorous prep process for the song.

She said: “I am truly flattered with the response coming my way. Firstly, ‘Saare Bolo Bewafa’ was not an easy song to perform considering the high-on-energy dance steps. Secondly, I was wondering if I would be able to match up to the choreographer and Akshay sir’s expectations since it’s an energetic dance number.”

Aroosa ensured to leave no stone unturned making the song look appealing on screen.

“Since it was my first song opposite superstar Akshay Kumar, I wanted to give my best and trained for it rigorously for over a month till the time I was confident enough to shoot it,” she reveals.

The big-ticket release proved to be a double whammy for Aroosa.

She added: “Interestingly, the day I signed my debut film ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ is the day when I had received my law degree. I am grateful to Sajid sir (Nadiadwala) for giving me the opportunity to be a part of a big-scale masala entertainer like ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ and a special thank you to director Farhad Samji, Ganesh masterji, and Mukesh Chhabra for making me a part of the film. I had a whale of a time working with a stellar cast like Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kriti Sanon, and Arshad Warsi. I couldn’t have asked for more,” she concludes.

Directed by Farhad Samji, ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ also stars a talented ensemble star cast including Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi, Pankaj Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra, Abhimanyu Singh, and Jacqueline Fernandez.

The film, produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, is all set to arrive in cinemas on March 18.

‘Ethara Jenda’ anthem from ‘RRR’ keeps up with the buzz

The makers of ‘RRR’ released the ‘RRR Celebration Anthem’ on Monday. The song which has the lyrics ‘Ethara Jenda’ in Telugu, features Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, and Jr NTR.

With the patriotic theme, the song is designed in such a way that all the great leaders, freedom fighters are given tributes for their sacrifices.

The various avatars of the lead actors surprise the fans, and the music complements the theme, which is a tribute to the freedom fighters.

The lyrics penned by Ramajogayya Sastry are so meaningful, while the song is composed by MM Keeravaani and sung by Vishal Mishra, Prudhvi Chandra, MM Keeravaani, Sahithi Chaganti, and Harika Narayan.

Though everything related to the song is in perfect position, ‘Ethara Jenda’ isn’t as impactful as the other songs released from the movie. While ‘Naatu Naatu’ had become a sensational hit, most of the other musicals have a mediocre impact among the listeners.

‘RRR’ is slated for a worldwide release in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil on March 25.
