  • Sonakshis impromptu idea for R Rajkumar

    Sonakshis impromptu idea for R Rajkumar

    MUMBAI: The shoot of the song, Dhoka Dhadi for the film R…Rajkumar at Khai Island in Phuket turned out to be quite challenging for the cast and crew of the film.

     

    A sudden change in the weather spoiled the mood of the shoot. While everyone had to face scorching heat, Sonakshi Sinha came up with an impromptu idea. She got inside the ocean and suggested choreographer Bosco to shoot the scene in the water. And though everyone had their reservations initially, Sonakshi insisted that it would make for a great shot. She was able to convince director Prabhu Deva, Bosco and even co-star Shahid Kapoor.

     

    Sonakshi Sinha says that the thought of sun sand and sea really charged her up initially. “But as we started shooting at the location, it was scorching. Trying to look pretty in a saree in that kind of heat is no easy task and thus when I couldn’t take it anymore, I just jumped into the water to cool off and asked Bosco to shoot us in there!”

     

    The movie scheduled to release on 6 December, 2013.

    The ESS event management group is organising the third Asian X Games Qualifier taking place at Phuket, Thailand from 7-10 December.

Completing the list of confirmed sponsors of this year’s AXQ is the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

    ESS viewers across Asia, Australia, Japan, Europe and Latin America will be able to enjoy the X games, a competing sport of extreme games. The Asian version of the X games began as the qualifying round of the US summer X games which served as a platform for players of these exiting sports to showcase their talents.

    Along with their tremendous appeal to attract local people, the X games also translate into prime programming for ESS. A strong proof of this is the fact that Motor Sports giant Toyota is continuing with its sponsorship with a promise that it will sponsor the X games for another two years so that it can identify with the theme of passion and sports which Toyota says goes with its brand.

    The X tours consists of three qualifying events to select competitors for the 2000 AXQ. The X tour is slated to stop in Bangkok (12-14 August), Taipei (9-10 September) and Singapore (7-8 September). In addition to this ESS will be organising viewing events in the Philippines and Malaysia.
