Gurdas Mann - From Bhangra to Bollywood
Tabu was undoubtedly the first choice for the lead female role. His wife was sure that Tabu was the only one who could do justice to the role, a fine actress that she is. Mann also adds that Tabu had seen his earlier work and readily agreed to work opposite him in Zindagi Khoobsoorat Hain. Besides Gurdas Mann and Tabu, the film stars Divya Dutta, Ashish Vidyarthi and Rajat Kapoor in key roles. Music would be scored by Anand Raaj Anand and is being directed by Manoj Ounj, who also directed Shaheed-e-mohhabat Bhoota Singh. Gurdas Mann is singing three songs in the film - two solos and a duet with Alka Yagnik. The character of the spastic child would be played by yet another little newcomer named Chandni. She had earlier modeled for the Parle-G Biscuit ad. Gurdas sent her to the Dilkush School in Juhu, where she had to spend a month observing how spastic children behave. As for playback singing in Hindi films, Mann is always game for it. But his prior commitments for shows have kept him tied up. The Bhangra King might be a new comer in Bollywood but he has almost 15 Punjabi films up his sleeves and has also dabbled in theatre. Source: bollywoodworld.com |
