News: Hhey Gujju!
After Sajid Khan called all the babies for Heyy Babyy last year, it is now the turn of Himesh Reshammiya to get not just all his Gujarati brethren together but also rest of the country with his cry of Hhey Gujju.
Hhey Gujju - Well, that’s indeed the title of his next film with Studio 18 which has Himesh’s Karzzzz director Satish Kaushik at the helm of affairs once again. The film has Himesh Reshammiya playing a double role for the first time and has been designed as an out and out comedy.
Says a source close to Satish Kaushik, “The film is titled Hhey Gujju for the simple reason that Himesh plays a Gujarati character. Since he plays a double role in the film, one of the characters is shown as a localite from Rajkot (Gujarat) who is settled in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk region. You won’t believe it but he is called Karsanlal Trikamlal Gandhi. Isn’t that an unusual name for a mainstream hero?”
Well, indeed it is an unusual name. How about the other part that Himesh plays in the film? “The other guy is also a Gujarati and his character is that of a cool Gujarati Casanova called Akash Patel who stays abroad”, informs the source, “The film is a complete entertainer from the word go and has been designed as a comedy of errors. As is the tradition with Himesh’s films, this one too would be introducing two new leading ladies opposite him.”
Incidentally, Hhey Gujju was launched on 29th April this year with a song recording while the shooting would begin this month.
When quizzed about the film, Himesh said, “I am doing a lot of folk fusion music in this comedy. About the cast which is being brought together for the film, we have already signed a large number of leading comedians and character artistes.”
“I am very excited to play a Gujarati for the first time”, said Himesh who is apparently already enjoying his comedy stint on the sets of Bhushan Kumar and John Mathew’s A Love Issshtory where he is playing a tapori, “I am gaining in experience since in Karzzzz and Kajraare I am playing intense characters. Now it should be fun working with Satishji once again after Karzzzz for Hhey Gujju.”

“the film, being produced by Studio 18, will hit theatres by February 2009″ - wow,thats early from what I expected…so the music will hit the stands even earlier…gr8 from my perspective…considering karzz will be out by next month…
“Himesh’s Karzzzz director Satish Kaushik at the helm of affairs once again”…as mentioned earlier…I quite like the HR-Kaushik combo…and satish kaushik has a good comedy sense and timing…
“we have already signed a large number of leading comedians and character artistes”…i truly hope that paresh rawal “the ulimate undisputed king of comedy”, om puri, rajpal yadav, jhonny lever, asrani, shakti kapoor could be part of it…HR…are you reading…
“Himesh who is apparently already enjoying his comedy stint” - i am a fan of comedy movies…i reckon that priyadarshan/niraj vohra is the no.1 comedy director/dialogue writer…i hope himesh becomes a part of future priyan comedy movies…
“I am doing a lot of Gujarati folk fusion music in this comedy film”…i don’t quite enjoy folk music…but since its something new from his usual style…il lap it up
when HR made his new decision…only 3 movies were too less (considering that he was only giving music for his own films-which was my biggest problem)…but since now they have become a “handful bunch, hopefully increasing by the day”…and after forgetful songs like “ranjhana” and “ek kalsa”…i guez the wait is worth it and quality is at its best…
“I am gaining in experience”…i hope that you get to work with the best…i.e. akshay kumar,salman khan,shah rukh?,karan johar,YRF,red chillis ent…
“I will only compose music for films thati act in” - by this decision,it was my belief that you deliberately and selfishly turned your back against one of your biggest music fans and you did not spare a thought of how fans like me will feel and cope with the acute music loss…honestly i was bitter and disgusted (to the point that once i decided that i will not support/be with you w.r.t your films)…i apologise for use of words but to hit the nail right on the head w.r.t to my feelings…the catchphrase is that you “royally screwed up” a few hard-core music fanatics who went out and supported your film but got an unexpected,unplayble googly in return…
…with all said and done…you should go ahead and explore your creativity…nevertheless…once a HR-fan…always a fan…and looking forward to your forthcoming movies and music…
we r eagerly waiting for the film
jai mata di
lets rock
god bless u
