'Sunflower season 2': Sunil Grover reveals traits of 'Sonu Singh' he wants in real life

24 Mar 2024

Sunil Grover, who reprised his role as the enigmatic Sonu Singh in 'Sunflower season 2', revealed the traits of the character that he wants in his real life.Created by showrunner Vikas Bahl and directed by Navin Gujral, the show features Sunil Grover in the lead role alongside Ashish Vidyarthi, Ranvir Shorey, Mukul Chaddha and Girish Kulkarni in other prominent roles.In a conversation with ANI, Sunil shared, "There are a lot of things in Sonu that I want to have, but I don't have them. But I think, Sonu likes to celebrate life. I also like to celebrate life. This is a common factor. Sonu, in any situation, finds something for himself. I also try to find something for myself in any situation. There are a lot of things that make me jealous of Sonu that I don't have. Like, no matter how bad the time is for Sonu like when the police came to arrest him. He doesn't pay much heed to the situation. He thinks he's his friend. So the way he looks at life is beautiful."In season 2, Rosie is a captivating bar dancer, who has inherited Kapoor's penthouse, raising more questions and spotlight to the case.Talking about how she is similar to her character from the show, Adah Sharma added, "It's a bit aspirational for me to be like that in real life. But I think, maybe I don't care about what other people think. Rosy too, wherever she goes, she feels that, yeah, whatever I'm doing, she seems, but she seems more in control of situations than I am in real life."Earlier, while throwing light on his character, Sunil said, "I like Sonu's character very much who lives in the Sunflower society. He looks very innocent. He also looks idiot sometimes, he takes the blame on himself for a murder that someone else has committed."Picking up from where Season 1 left off, police duo DG and Tambe, portrayed by Ranvir Shorey and Girish Kulkarni respectively, continue their relentless hunt for Kapoor's murderer. Rosie is a bar dancer, who has inherited Kapoor's penthouse, raising more questions in the case. As the story progresses, love and romance will flourish between Sonu and Rosie.'Sunflower Season 2' is streaming on ZEE5 from March 1.

7 Mar 2024

Actor R Madhavan, who plays a pivotal role in the film, attended the screening in an all-black look.He happily posed for the shutterbugs.Ajay marked the screening with his son Yug.The father-son duo was all smiles as they posed for the paps stationed outside the venue.Actors Jaideep Ahlawat and Kartik Aaryan also attended the screening of 'Shaitaan'.Helmed by Vikas Bahl, 'Shaitaan' is a supernatural thriller. Jyotika is also a part of the film.Sharing how he decided to helm the film, Vikas said, "I don't really watch supernatural thrillers or horror movies, so my knowledge of that genre as a viewer is very little. But when I heard the story of Shaitaan, I totally loved it, and I felt that this story really had to be told. At the same time, it was so challenging for me to tell a story in a genre that I am a novice in. So, I thought, let me take up this challenge and see where it goes. And I must say, it's been a great experience working on Shaitaan and creating it."He conducted thorough research before diving into the shoot of the film."Like I said, I don't really watch this genre, and I never thought I would be venturing into it. So, actually, like a school kid, we used to sit and watch videos, read, and watch other films. The whole team would sit in a room, and we would actually try to study. It was almost like going back to school, trying to understand how these films are made, how the camera works, how the action works, how scenes work, and how emotions work. So, I told my team, 'Let's all sit, learn, and be sure that we know how to pull this off.' Going back to school and feeling nervous before we hit the floor was a really good experience, and I wish I could do it again and again, in new genres, in new films, and always be challenged to see how I can pull them off," Vikas opened up.

But Tiger, Kriti, and Rehman sir really practiced hard on days off as well as in between action scenes, in spite of the challenging weather conditions and low oxygen levels. Our base was far from the actual shoot locations, but the entire crew was very supportive and hands-on, as it was not easy shifting equipment, costumes, props, etc. from one terrain to another. So yes, we did manage to pull off a really difficult shoot well because we had a great team. Also, I would like to give a big thanks and special mention to the locals who not only helped us acclimatize and adapt to the tough weather conditions but helped us every step of the way to complete an otherwise gruelling shoot schedule."Earlier today, makers unveiled the much-awaited second song 'Jai Ganesha'.Taking to Instagram, Zee Music Company treated fans with a song video and captioned it, "Vighnaharta ka saath...har pareshani ka samadhan! #JaiGanesha song out now "With Tiger Shroff's moves and unbeatable energy, the upbeat devotional song.Tiger donning a dhoti and grooving to the devotional song.A few days ago, the makers launched the first song, 'Hum Aaye Hain', which has been trending across all platforms ever since it release.
