    Vijender Singh gets naughty in ‘Fugly’

    MUMBAI: Sports star and big screen newcomer Vijender Singh, who is all set to make his Bollywood debut in Grazing Goat Pictures upcoming film Fugly, will impress his legion of fans by taking on a whole new avatar on the silver screen. To cement his ‘bad boy’ character in Fugly he appears in the risque song video entitled: Good In Bed. The cheeky number sees the delectable Vijender grooving with a bevy of scantily-clad girls.

     

    The lively video sees Vijender dressed in a traditional Greek Toga, however, he soon loses his inhibitions and his clothes, as he begins to strip layer by layer, until he is left wearing nothing but a pair of stars and stripes underpants and a t-shirt.

     

    Vijender, who plays a Harayanvi Jat in the film, is joined in the video by his co-stars Mohit Marwah, Kiara Advani and Arfi Lamba.

     

    ‘Good In Bed’ is the fifth track to be taken from the popular Fugly soundtrack. Previous hits include: ‘Yeh Fugly Fugly Kya Hai’, ‘Dhup Chik’, ‘Banjarey’ and ‘G Pe Danda’.

     

    ‘Fugly’, directed by Kabir Sadanand, is shot extensively in Delhi and Leh. The movie is also the launch pad for Mohit Marwah, Olympic medalist Boxer Vijender Singh, Kiara Advani and Arfi Lamba, the freshest faces to join the film fraternity. They will be making their debut in style along with the supremely talented Jimmy Sheirgill, who will be seen in one of his most powerful performances ever.

     

    ‘Fugly’ is set to release on 13 June 2014.

    MUMBAI: Shot in the picturesque foothills of Leh, Grazing Goat Pictures introduced its third track from the upcoming film Fugly, titled Banjarey. The song which talks about friendship and travelling is being greatly appreciated by music lovers internationally.

     

    On the sets of Banjarey, since there were no gyms in Leh, the boys Mohit and Vijender used the rocks lying around for free weight training while shooting for the song.

     

    Banjarey has been composed by music sensation Yo Yo Honey Singh and is unlike any of his previous compositions.

     

    After the instant-hit Yeh Fugly Fugly Kya Hai and Dhupchik, Grazing Goat Pictures has released the third track.

     

    Its title track Yeh Fugly Fugly Kya Hai has created a huge stir with its signature ‘Spider Step’. The song became the most popular video on YouTube India within four days of its release.

     

    Fugly, directed by Kabir Sadanand, is shot extensively in Delhi and the breathtaking locations of Leh. It is a story of four friends: Dev, Devi, Gaurav and Aditya and how this carefree bunch, at the threshold of their lives, get caught in a ‘Fugly’ incident, which sucks them slowly into the big bad world of corruption, politics and the real society in the capital. The entertainingly original Fugly is wacky, kitsch and puts the best of friends through the most bizarre events of their life – the game is Fugly!
