Son Of Sardaar (2012) Movie Poster
After several allegations that his forthcoming film Son Of Sardaar hurts religious sentiments, actor-producer Ajay Devgn is set to meet members of the Sikh community and have a screening of the film for them.
The 43-year-old actor would be visiting Amritsar with friend and co-star Sanjay Dutt to meet SPGC (Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee) officials, Sikh lawyers and members of All India Sikh Student Federation (AISSF).
The film will be screened during the meeting in Amritsar. On August 27, Karnail Singh, President of All India Sikh Student Federation (AISSF), in a letter to Jathedar Akhal Takht Giani Gurbachan Singh had requested stern action against Ajay for blasphemous remarks against the community as shown in the official trailer of the film.
It was alleged that the official trailer, released on YouTube, shows the character of a Sikh in bad light and comprises of demeaning dialogues such as "If Sikhs were not there then who would have invented abuses..." and "Without Sardaars, on whom would have jokes been made".
Moreover, Ajay is shown as a turban-wearing Sardar with the tattoo of Hindi God Shiva on his chest, which has also been termed as Anti-Sikh.
Punjab and Haryana High Court Advocate Navkiran Singh had issued a legal notice to the makers of the film on August 16 asking them to delete the objectionable parts within 7 days of receipt of the legal notice. However, actor-producer Ajay Devgn is yet to respond to the notice.
A few days ago, Ajay had issued a statement which said, "At no point anybody will find any element of disrespect. The protagonist of the film is a Sardaar, so the film will showcase a very positive projection of the community. One could just wait for the release and then come up with their comments and opinion."
Let's hope that once SPGC officials watch the film, there will not be any objections. Son Of Sardaar, directed by Ashwni Dhir and starring Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla, is set to release on November 13.
It was recently reported that Ajay Devgn's home production Son Of Sardaar had landed in trouble with Sikh organizations. Karnail Singh, the president of AISSF (All India Sikh Students Federation) had written a letter to the Akal Takht, demanding that action should be taken against the film for hurting the religious sentiments of Sikhs. Apparently, the organization is miffed about certain 'demeaning' dialogues against Sikhs in the film. Moreover, they also objected to the fact that Devgn, a Sikh in the film, sports a tattoo of Lord Shiva, a Hindu God, on his chest. Karnail Singh had also revealed that they have sent a legal notice to the filmmakers.
Meanwhile, Ajay, the leading hero and the producer, has taken to social networking websites to clarify his stand on the controversy.
On the popular social networking website, Facebook, he posted, "My film Son of Sardaar does not hurt anybody's sentiments. I'm from Punjab and I have lot of respect for the community and culture as any anyone else and the last thing I would do is to hurt anyone. Infact I'm very proud of the community. We have made this film under the guidance of a lot of knowledgeable people so at no point you will find any element of disrespect. The protagonist of the film is a Sardaar so the film will showcase a very positive projection of the community. If you could just wait for the release and then come up with your comments and opinion. Trust me, we all will be proud of the film."
On his own micro-blogging account on Twitter, Ajay wrote, "Im frm Punjab n I respct d community proud of d culture Son of Sardaar does nt hurt sntimnts Jst wait for d rlease we'l be proud of d film."
It's indeed admirable that the star-producer has spoken out on a public platform, standing by his film.
Son Of Sardaar, starring Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla and Sonakshi Sinha, is set to release on November 13.
This year, Diwali is sure to have more than the usual dhamaka! Putting a rest to all speculations about the release date of upcoming flick Son Of Sardaar, the makers of the film have revealed that Ajay Devgn's highly anticipated Son Of Sardaar will carpet bomb cinemas in India and worldwide this Diwali on 13th November 2012!
A reliable source attached to the film recently confirmed that Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt, who star in the film, are currently dubbing for the film in Hyderabad and the entire creative and marketing teams are brainstorming about putting in place an innovative publicity blitzkrieg as fans. Sources also revealed that the trailer of the film has created a buzz not only in India but also other places like Toronto, Vancouver, Burmingham and New York.
The respective production houses comprising Ajay Devgn Ffilms, Viacom 18 and YRV Infra & Media have paved the way for an all out release and have also licensed the worldwide distribution rights to Eros International, it seems.
Apart from Devgn and the deadly Dutt, the film, which is an action comedy also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla in pivotal roles.
'Son Of Sardaar'- Theatrical Trailer
It had been reported recently that the leading female role in 'Son Of Sardaar' was initially offered to Kajol by the director Ashwani Dhir.It was said that Kajol had declined the film owing to her household commitments and had suggested Sonakshi Sinha's name instead.
However, sources from the film claim that this is not true. A source from the unit has been quoted saying that Sonakshi was always the original and the only choice to play the part and that no other actress was approached to do the film. The source further reveals that Sonakshi had agreed to do the film immediately after hearing its story.
'Son Of Sardaar', starring Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt and Juhi Chawla, has been directed by Ashwini Dhir and is set to release on November 13.
Director Ashwini Dhir, whose action-comedy Son Of Sardaar will illume silver screens across the nation in Diwali this year, recently admitted that he was quite keen to rope in Kajol to act opposite hubby Ajay Devgn in the film!
However, it seems that when Dhir approached Kajol for the role, she politely refused citing domestic responsibilities and promptly recommended that Dhir sign up Sonakshi Sinha for the role. Though disappointed, Dhir agreed to Kajol's suggestions and roped in Sonakshi to star opposite Devgn. Incidentally, the last film that Kajol starred in was the 2010 flick Toonpur Ka Superhero, in which she was paired opposite Ajay Devgn.
Co-starring Sanjay Dutt and Juhi Chawla, Son Of Sardaar is Devgn's home production and the film, which is set in London and Punjab, is expected to release on November 13 this year.
Close friends Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt will start shooting at the same venue in Hyderabad today.
The duo, next to be seen in Ashwini Dhir's Son Of Sardaar, will start shooting for their respective films at the Ramoji Rao Studio in Hyderabad from today.
While Ajay Devgn will be working on his upcoming film Himmatwala, directed by Sajid Khan, opposite South actress Tamannaah Bhatia, Sanjay Dutt will start shooting for KS Ravikumar's Saamy with Prachi Desai. Co-incidentally, both the films are remakes. Writer duo Farhad-Sajid, who have written dialogues for both the films, were quoted saying that it is going to be very tough for them as both the films are starting together.
The duo will next be seen in Son Of Sardaar, also starring Juhi Chawla and Sonakshi Sinha, which releases on November 13.
There are stories galore about Bollywood stars bonding with each other while shooting for films. However, the one-off instance of professional rivalry does exist.
Buzz is that during the initial stages of the Punjab schedule of the film Son Of Sardaar, the two female actresses Juhi Chawla and Sonakshi Sinha did not quite start off on a good note.
According to sources from the unit, there were not enough vanity vans on the sets of the film since the unit was in a small town, a few hours away from Patiala. They add that since the number, of vanity-vans were not enough for the actors, the production requested people to share their vans with each other, hence, asking Juhi and Sonakshi to share a single van. The two actresses were initially unhappy about sharing the same van, considering they had to sleep in it too, but they did not have any option and agreed.
However, it was a mere aberration and the two actresses got along quite well henceforth.
Son Of Sardaar, directed by Ashwani Dhir and starring Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla and Sonakshi Sinha, is set to release on November 13.
Actor Ajay Devgn, who was till recently shooting for the last schedule of his upcoming production venture Son Of Sardaar, has some valuable advice for his co-star and good friend Sanjay Dutt.
Ajay feels that Sanjay is very good at comic roles and that he should do more of that instead of serious roles that could affect his image.
A source was quoted saying that Sanjay has done too many serious roles in films such as Agneepath and Department so Ajay took out time to give Dutt some advice to brush up his comic timing.
Ajay, who has acted in blockbuster comedies such as Golmaal, Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3 and Bol Bachchan, feels that Dutt too, can have several super hits in his kitty by doing comedy.
Actor Sanjay Dutt, who was last seen playing the evil Kancha in revenge drama Agneepath, was spotted with a walking stick at the Mumbai International airport when he recently came back from his Europe visit.
Sources claim that the deadly Dutt, who had gone to Europe for a vacation, took some time off to visit a specialist in Germany for surgery on his knee, which has been giving him trouble ever since 2009. It seems that Dutt had suffered an injury to his knee while shooting for adventure film Blue way back in 2009 and the pain kept resurfacing every now and then, prompting the Germany visit.
Dutt will be next seen in Son Of Sardaar, an action comedy that is due to release in Diwali this year. Apart from the Ajay Devgn starrer, Dutt will also be seen in Sher, Zilla Ghaziabad and the remake of South flick Saamy, which is tentatively titled Thanedaar Returns.
A senior lawyer on Friday issued a legal notice to actor-producer Ajay Devgn for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Sikhs in his upcoming film Son Of Sardaar. Lawyer Navkiran Singh has taken this action against the makers of the film after watching the official trailer of Son Of Sardaar. The notice states that the trailer, in some parts, portrays Sikhs in a bad light and hurts their religious sentiments.
It further says that the contents available to the public through the official trailer on 'YouTube' contains absurd comments especially the line which indicates, “if Sardaars would not have been there, then on whom would the jokes be made." Navkiran has requested Devgn to remove such dialogues from the film in public interest or else he and all other persons involved in the making of this film would face legal action.
Even the Vipul Shah film, starring Akshay Kumar, Singh Is Kinng that released in the year 2008 had faced legal trouble for portraying Sikhs in a bad light.
Son Of Sardaar, starring Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla and Sonakshi Sinha, is set to release on November 13.
Juhi Chawla and Sonakshi Sinha got along so well during the shooting of Son Of Sardaar in Patiala, that they used to hang out and shop at the local markets together for hours.
Sources from the unit claim that Juhi and Sonakshi would disappear for hours whenever they had an afternoon call time during their 15-day-long shooting schedule in Patiala.
Apparently, they would frequent the local markets to shop for souvenirs and local stuff and would roam around for hours. The sources add that this bonding and shopping activity among the two actresses left the director Ashwini Dhir quite angry at times.
The theatrical trailer of Son Of Sardaar has received rave reviews from all quarters and is set to hit the screens on Diwali this year.
The film, starring Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt, releases on November 13.
Sanjay Dutt, who'll next be seen in Son Of Sardaar, has taken inspiration from his dad Sunil Dutt's on screen look, for his upcoming action-comedy. Sanjay has adopted his father's dacoit look from the 1963 release Mujhe Jeene Do, for the movie.
Sources reveal that when Sanjay signed the film, he didn't even know what his role was. He said yes to the project because it was his good friend Ajay Devgn's film. Reportedly, in the beginning no particular look was planned for Dutt, but post the success of his film Agneepath, where he plays the antagonist Kancha, the makers realized that Sanjay's look in the film had a lot to do with the movie's humongous success. And that's when Ajay suggested that they should have a special get-up for the original 'bad boy'.
When his look was being discussed, Sanjay revealed, to the cast and crew, that he has always been fascinated with his father's look in Mujhe Jeene Do and the team felt that it was indeed a good suggestion.Director Ashwini Dhir, feels that the look gave a lot of character and personality to Sanjay Dutt's part in the movie. He also revealed that when he told Sanjay that he resembled his father in SOS, Sanjay got very emotional.
Son Of Sardaar stars Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Juhi Chawla alongside Dutt and will hit the theaters this Diwali.
The trailer of Ajay Devgn starrer action-comedy Son Of Sardaar was launched a few days back and the trailer, which has a humorous voiceover by Ajay Devgn about the qualities of Sardars and what the world would be like without them, has gone viral online and received over 14 lakh hits in the past five days, claim sources!
It seems that industry experts are confident that the film will be a major hit and are already calling it this year's 'Diwali Dhamaka'. The film, which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla amongst others, is set in London and rural Punjab and Devgn will be seen donning the turban for the second time after The Legend Of Bhagat Singh in which Devgn essayed the role of martyr Bhagat Singh.
Directed by Ashwini Dhir and produced by Ajay Devgn Films and YRV Infra & Media (P) Ltd Production, Son Of Sardaar will be releasing in Diwali this year.
Though he's managed to set the box-office afire already with his latest, Bol Bachchan, we've always known that Ajay Devgn is not one to rest on his laurels. So, it's only appropriate that within just weeks of his last release, the actor-producer is already set and raring to go for his next outing, with the theatrical trailer of his much-anticipated action comedy, Son Of Sardaar' hits the waves online and causing quite a splash.
The full theatrical trailer of the Ajay, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha starrer debuted online on YouTube and social networks last night, giving restless audiences a taste of what they can expect from the slick action comedy. Quite a bit of the buzz is because 'Son Of Sardaar' sees Devgn reconnect with his Punjab da Puttar roots in a full-blooded Sardaar avatar. The film promises to treat audiences to equal doses of side-splitting comedy and pumping action, with a vengeful Dutt playing antagonist to Devgn, complete with a family of bumbling brothers in tow.
Being a hands-on producer, Ajay broke the trailer online himself, tweeting to his fans late last night, saying "This is it #SOS Son of Sardaar theatrical...go get it!" Devgn's numerous fans lapped it up instantly, many raving about the looks of the film and its stars. Sonakshi did her bit for the trailer too, passing the link onto her fans on the social network.
Up for release this Diwali weekend, Son Of Sardaar promises to be a firecracker of a film, and with the trailer racking up numbers online, audiences can already catch a bit of the sparkle!
Fans of Ajay Devgn have yet another reason to celebrate! After thrilling the audiences with his super hit Bol Bachchan, Devgn is back with his much-awaited laugh riot Son Of Sardaar.
The first theatrical trailer of Ajay's much-anticipated Son Of Sardar, will hit the silver screens this weekend, with one of Hollywood's biggest films, in recent times, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.
The trailer will be up online tonight, so audiences don't actually have to wait till the weekend and can enjoy it in the comfort of their homes.
The trailer will have Ajay doing the narration, where he humorously and beautifully encapsulates his character's thoughts of what the world would be like without the happy go lucky sardaars. And if industry insiders and trade pundits, who've seen the trailer, are to be believed, then the movie has all the elements of a blockbuster just right!
Directed by Ashwini Dhir, the action comedy stars Sonakshi Sinha, Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Dutt alongside Devgn and is slated to hit the theaters this Diwali.
