Two Punjabi flicks and a double dose of the phoren formula

Seems like they’ve exhausted the Canadian territory, for in his next production, producer-director Manmohan Singh has moved his base camp to the Great Britain and aptly christened it, ‘Munde UK De’. Carrying on with the tried and tested phoren formula, the veteran is back with his favourite boy Jimmy Sheirgill, Neeru Bajwa and singer Amarinder Gill who will be making his debut in the film. “It’s set against the backdrop of a very hip-hop English lifestyle and revolves around the theme of generation gap and culture clash,” tells Singh who has written, directed and produced the film. Hmm, now where have we heard that story before! Anyways, the crew is in town for the shoot and in we hear that there’s a great chemistry between Jimmy and Amarinder. And we thought it’s between the hero and heroine! Jokes apart, Jimmy and Gill are playing these two UK born characters who make a visit to Punjab and get acquainted with their homeland. A joint venture of Mukut Wala and Punj-Aab Movies International, ‘Munde UK De’ also features Deep Dhillon, Arun Bali, Akshita, Gurpreet Ghuggi and Rana Ranabir. “Babloo Kumar and Sukhshinder Shinda have given the music while Amarinder along with Labh Janjua, Sardool Sikander and Sudesh Kumari have given the playback,” says Singh. “It’s Manmohan Singh’s vision as a director that’s got me into movies and I hope it will be a great take off as the movie promises entertainment, comedy and a social message,” chips in Gill.
