NEW YORK: Veteran actor Dharmendra and his two sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol visited Manhattan to promote their upcoming film Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, which releases worldwide on June 7th, yesterday.
The Deols addressed a press conference at the Michelin-star restaurant Junoon where the flavor was distinctly Punjabi, as one of the emcees started proceedings speaking in Punjabi. The amazingly fit looking and handsome Dharmendra was his dapper self, at ease in answering questions from the media present.
“The presence of the Deol family shows the emerging importance of the U.S. in Bollywood’s global equation,”Paramdeep Singh, co-founder of Saavn, one of the event hosts, said.
Saavn has been chosen as the premiere music streaming partner for Yamla Pagla Deewana 2.
The sequel brings the three Deolsback, with the film being shot in locations in India, Scotland, and Britain.
The story revolves around Paramveer Singh Dhillon (Sunny Deol), a dashing, honest and righteous loan recovery agent with a unique working style. He initially greets defaulters with flowers, but if otherwise needed, the famous “dhai kilo kahaath”comes into effect.
In another universe, in Banaras, much to Paramveer’s oblivion, his folks Dharam (Dharmendra) and Gajodhar (Bobby Deol) have failed to mend their ways and continue deceiving people. This time, though, they have a greater con up their sleeves. Their latest fish is Yograj Khanna, a rich night club owner from England. Shrewdly,Dharam intends to hook up Gajodhar with Yograj’s strikingly beautiful daughter, Suman, posing as a billionaire himself.
Dharam and Gajodhar land in the UK and to their surprise find that Paramveer is Yograj’s new night club manager. A series of cons by the nefarious father-son duo follow, with Paramveerbent on ruining every last one of it. The entry of Reet, an attractive woman who runs an art gallery, and is also Paramveer’s love interest, and a mysterious character named ‘Q’ adds to the comedy of errors, comprising of mistaken identities, weddings, kidnappings and Mafia wars.
Directed by Sangeeth Sivan,the film also stars Neha Sharma, Kristina Akheeva, Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor, Johnny Lever and Sucheta Khanna in leading roles.
