Tuesday, 17th June 2014, 06:30 PM IST Interesting as it may seem, it was filmmaker Karan Johar who came up with the title for Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Singh Is Bling’ co-produced by Grazing Goat co-owners Akshay and Ashvini Yardi.
Talking about this, Ashvini said, “The title came to us from Akshay Kumar. And he got it from Karan Johar. It happened at an event where Karan saw Akshay in a blingy jacket. Karan exclaimed, 'Oh,Singh is bling!'” She further said, “I called up Karan and asked his permission to use the title. It would have a lot of stunning action. And it will be shot entirely abroad.” Ashvini also clarified that ‘Singh Is Bling’ is not the sequel to Anees Bazmee’s 2008 film ‘Singh Is Kinng’. “No it is not a sequel! The only similarity is that Akshay plays a Sardar in both. But it's not the same character. His Sardar act in ‘Singh Is Kinng’ went down very well with North Indian audiences. Our company Grazing Goat had a script. So we approached Prabhudheva to direct it. It's an original script,” she said. |
