SON OF SARDAR - MAKING

Actor Ajay Devgn began shooting for his home production, Son of Sardar, in Patiala on Saturday. Interestingly, the title was earlier registered with Akshay Kumar for his own production, but Ajay requested Akshay for the title and Akki relented.The film also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Sanjay Dutt and the two will join Ajay in Punjab early next month.

“Son of Sardar, starts now ... looking forward to a great outdoor schedule, packed with some balle balle! Patiala ... here I come!,” Sonakshi tweeted recently. Ajay is staying tight-lipped about the film for now and is being extra cautious about his home production. Ajay did the recce of the place for shooting and is reportedly taking a keen interest in creative decisions.

“The unit is likely to camp in Patiala and other areas of Punjab for more than a month,” says a source from the film’s unit.Once she was ‘Chirpy Chawla’, who excelled in light-hearted roles in films like Bol Radha Bol (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke (1993), Duplicate (1998) and Jhankaar Beats (2003). But in the last few years, happy Juhi has turned unhappy in offbeat cinema like My Brother Nikhil (2005), Sukhmani (2010)and I Am (2011)

“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve done a regular commercial movie,” the actor agrees. “The last one was Bhootnath (2008). So, it was a welcome relief to shoot for SOS—Son Of Sardar in Patiala last year. It’s a comedy with lots of cute, quirky characters and funny lines.”

The rom-com revolves around two Punjabi families living in havelis(bungalows) out in the country. Juhi is a slightly dehati (rustic) Sardarni opposite Sanjay Dutt. “It’s such a coincidence that the last film I shot with Sanju, Safari (1999), also had Tanujaji (actor Tanuja), and now I’m working with both of them again,” she says, remembering how on a rainy morning during an outdoor shoot in Tekri on the Kerela-Tamil Nadu border, Sanjay had made tea for the unit.

“I pretended to be a spot boy, holding an umbrella over his head while he poured the tea from the kettle into little glasses.” She admits she was a little awkward meeting Sanjay after a long time. But it wasn’t long before they were happily discussing their kids. “I’d met Trishala during shows in New York when she was 10. His daughter is a grown-up now, but he has the twins, Shahraan and Iqra, to dote on,” says Juhi, breaking into giggles as she recalls his impersonations of his producers and directors.

Producer and co-actor Ajay Devgn is another prankster, with a geek for a daughter and an infant son. “He surprised me by calling and offering me this role. I’m glad he did because I feel like my 60-second Kurkure commercial has turned into a two-hour movie. It’s so much fun!” Juhi exults.

She points out that there are only two Sardars in the film wearing pagdis (turban). One is Ajay and the other an eight-year-old kid who tells Ajay, ‘Ek main Sardar, ek tu Sardar, baaki sab bekaar (We are the only two Sardars and the others are worthless)’. She laughs, “Now you know what’s in store  —good, clean family fun.”

Not too long ago, it was reported that maverick director Vishal Bhardwaj would be making his next film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola with Ajay Devgn and Anushka Sharma in lead. Though the film was all set to go floors in November, it has now hit troubled waters with Devgn walking out of the film.If what we hear is anything to go by then apparently Ajay has opted out of the film as his dates were clashing with Ashwini Dhir's film Son Of Sardar. However, seemingly unaffected by this set back, it is said that Bhardwaj has settled for another actor to play the lead.

Both Ajay and Vishal remained unavailable to comment.There is no doubt about the fact that Ajay Devgn is being regarded as one of the leading action stars in Bollywood today. How can we forget his debut filmPhool Aur Kaante, in which he appeared on screen standing on two moving bikes? He repeated the same stunt in Golmaal Returns and Golmaal 3 on cars.

And now, for his underproduction film Son Of Sardar, Ajay has done it again. This time however, Ajay will be seen riding two horses. With the stunt already making news, we wonder how Ajay pulls off such dare devil stunts... only to be reminded that he is after all the son of noted fight master Veeru Devgan. Son Of Sardar, which is being directed by Ashwini Dhir, stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Juhi Chawla and Arjan Bajwa apart from Ajay, and is scheduled for release in November this year.

It's no hidden secret that every big star and filmmaker want his/her film to release during the Diwali weekend. This year too, there seems to be a crazy demand for the Diwali weekend.While Yash Chopra's directorial venture starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma and Akshay Kumar- Himesh Reshammiya's joint ventureKhiladi 786 had already announced Diwali 2012 as their release date, now Ajay Devgn too has joined the fray with his home production Son Of Sardar

Son of Sardar was supposed to release on Nov 30 but it has now been pre-poned and will arrive on the Diwali weekend. Ajay has always had a superb track record during Diwali what with his films like All The Best, Golmaal Returns and Golmaal 3 emerging to be super-hits.

Hence, the actor-producer thought it's in the best interest of the film to release during the festive period. Son Of Sardar is a remake of the Telugu film Maryada Ramanna and stars Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt and Juhi Chawla. The film is directed by Ashwini Dhir.

The film is scheduled for release on 13 November 2012; hence competing against Yash Chopra's Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Recently Himesh Reshammiya was roped in to compose the music along with lyricist Sameer Anjaan.
