Sonu Sood’s intense horse riding for Kung Fu Yoga

Sonu Sood is currently shooting for Jackie Chan’s forthcoming Hollywood film, Kung Fu Yoga, being directed by Stanley Tong.

The fitness enthusiast, who plays a royal character in his debut English venture, learnt horse riding for the movie. The actor shares screen space with a horse and falcon belonging to the UAE royal family.

Sonu says, “It was tough riding a horse striding across the hot sands, with the powerful and heavy falcon, perched on my hand. That is my introductory scene in the film. Both animals belong to the UAE royal family.”

“I can stand on a horse and ride now. I learned horse riding during Jodhaa Akbar. Stanley thought making my entry on a horse would look regal and larger-than-life. But as they say, the most beautiful visuals can be achieved under the most difficult conditions,” Sonu adds.

The talented actor, who is all praise for producer and co-star Jackie Chan, informs, “Jackie is one of the finest, most grounded superstars I have met. It is a treat to work with him. He takes care of you and makes you feel very special.” 

The actor is flying to China next week to shoot the remaining scenes of Kung Fu Yoga.

Dhara 302 is about dacoits of Kota in Rajasthan

Jitendra Singh Naruka, the director of upcoming crime drama film – Dhara 302 says that the audience would be surprised to know that there existed the regime of dacoits in Kota in Rajasthan, similar to what it was in Chambal in U.P.

Talking to FILMY TOWN, Jitendra puts forth his point, “Till now, you used to see movies made on lives of bandits who are in UP, Bihar, Lucknow, etc. There isn’t any film made on the bandits from Rajasthan. People have the general impression that all the Rajasthanis are timid Marwaris, who are shopkeepers and fearful, feeble people. No one ever has heard of any Rajasthani outlaws or a criminal.

When asked about how he decided on this genre, he said, “During a research of crimes in Rajasthan, we came across the real life story of Bhanupratap who was a collegian in around 1997. The crime-lords in Rajasthan had their blessing on this lad, and he started growing by stature as the time passed.”

Speaking about his protagonist, he continued, “Bhanupratap was never scared of death. he used to keep pistols as toys. The loots at the Toll naka fascinated him. There were netas who shielded him. And he even confronted some of them after he grew up in his stature as a dreaded dacoit.”

“There was a telecom company by a prominent business group to be launched in Rajasthan which was threatened by Bhanupratap and hence withdrew their handsets from the market. It was only after coming to a settlement with Bhanupratap that this company launched the mobile handsets in a large scale.”
