Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar to dance on Honey Singh’s tunes
MUMBAI: They are the two heartthrobs of Bollywood and when they come together they create magic. We are talking about Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Since the time they did David Dhawan’s Mujhse Shaadi Karogi together in 2004, the two have made a great jodi on silver screen.
The duo is set to come together for a special item song by Yo Yo Honey Singh in Grazing Goats Pictures’ Fugly. The actors, as they rekindle their bromance, will be seen flexing their dance moves with four newcomers.
After Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, the duo came together in Shirish Kunder’s Jaan-E-Man in 2006, followed by a track in Tees Maar Khan in 2011.
It is being said that Salman, who is a good friend of Ashvini Yardi, the co-partner in Grazing Goats Pictures, is doing this as a friendly gesture towards the lady.
Fugly is a coming-of-age drama directed by Kabir Sadanand. It is the story of four friends: Dev (Anil Kapoor’s nephew Mohit Marwah), Devi (grandniece of Sayed Jaffery, Kiara Advani), Gaurav (Olympic medalist Boxer Vijender Singh) and Aditya (Slumdog Millionaire actor Arfi Lamba) and how this carefree bunch, at the threshold of their lives, get caught in a ‘Fugly’ incident, which sucks them slowly into the big bad world of corruption, politics and the real society in the capital.
The film is set to release on 16 May 2014.
