After the overwhelming success of the trailer and the first song Dil Ke Taj Mahal Mein, Himesh Reshammiya has unveiled the highly anticipated tracks 'Hookstep Hookah Bar' and 'Bazaar-e-Ishq'.
Hookstep Hookah Bar sung by Himesh himself alongside the powerhouse Sunidhi Chauhan, the song features Sunny Leone and Prabhu Deva in a dazzling spectacle. Sunny’s iconic moves, combined with Prabhu Deva’s electrifying dance and Himesh’s soulful voice, create a mesmerizing blend that’s truly to die for. The track promises to be another chart-topping addition to this retro-action musical phenomenon.
Bazaar-e-Ishq, on the other hand, is pure magic! The soulful combination of Himesh Reshammiya and Shreya Ghoshal has created an enchanting melody. His composition, voice, and aura blend seamlessly with Sunny Leone’s captivating charm, delivering a heartwarming experience. Both tracks, though released on the same day, showcase two entirely different flavors—one a high-energy spectacle and the other an iconic ballad, highlighting Himesh’s unmatched versatility.
The trailer of Badass Ravi Kumar took audiences by storm, receiving a historic response for its high-octane action, nostalgic narrative, and star-studded cast. Fans have already declared it a hit, with production costs reportedly covered well in advance, setting the stage for the film’s success. Badass Ravi Kumar is Himesh Reshammiya’s homage to the golden era of Bollywood—the 1980s. Himesh reprises his iconic role as Ravi Kumar, first introduced in the cult hit The Xposé. This time, Ravi Kumar returns in an all-new action-packed avatar, blending charm, wit, and charisma to take the character’s legacy to unprecedented heights.
The film features a stellar cast that perfectly complements its grand narrative. Prabhu Deva shines as the formidable antagonist Carlos Pedro Panther, delivering menace and style in equal measure. Kirti Kulhari commands attention as the bold and dynamic Laila, while Sunny Leone adds intrigue as Nisha. Other notable performances include Sanjay Mishra as Rana, Johny Lever as Rana, Manish Wadhwa as Zaid Bashir, Anil George as Bhujang, Rajesh Sharma as Jagaavar Chaudhry, Prashant Narayanan as Mahavir Ahuja, and Saurabh Sachdeva as Awasthi. Simona makes her impactful debut as Madhubala, one of the leads opposite Himesh.
The recently released trailer struck a chord with fans and critics alike. Directed by Keith Gomes and produced by Himesh Reshammiya Melodies, the film has already become a hot topic of discussion for its unapologetic embrace of retro Bollywood’s storytelling. The dialogues, penned by Bunty Rathore, are another standout element.
