The stars and filmmakers behind the upcoming comedy FUKREY launched the music album of the film in style at Delhi University’s Atma Ram Sanatan Dharm College (ARSD). Producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, along with director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba entered the rowdy college event on bicycles, while the four lead actors – Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Ali Fazal and Varun Sharma – rode in on horses.
The film’s hilarious trailer starts off with just such a scene. The female leads – Richa Chadda, Priya Anand and Vishakha Singh – entered walking and dancing into the festive occasion, joined by dhol players and a musical band.
Addressing the mammoth crowd of college students, Akhtar, also an actor and director, described his bicycle entrance sarcastically, “the budget of the movie is so big that we invested everything in it. So with the leftover money, we could only afford horses.”
Music director Ram Sampath performed two tracks from the film, while singer Sona Mohapatra performed a Punjabi song. The audience partied hard to the live music show and the launch event also featured Akhtar performing his hit song “Rock On” from the film of the same name which he produced and starred in.
FUKREY will get the party started in theaters worldwide on June 14th.
