Will movie ‘Panga’ give boost to the image of Jassie Gill?
I’ll continue talking about Jassie
Gill. Let me pass on to you some information about the film Happy Phirr Bhag
Jayegi in which he played a major role.
Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi (Happy will
run away again) is a Bollywood comedy film directed by Mudassar Aziz and
produced by Aanand L. Rai and Krishika Lulla. The film is a sequel to the 2016
film Happy Bhag Jayegi. It stars Diana Penty as the eponymous character from
the first film and Sonakshi Sinha as her namesake. The production features an
ensemble cast consisting of Penty, Sinha, Jimmy Sheirgill, Piyush Mishra, Ali
Fazal, and Jassi Gill. The film was released on 24 August 2018 to mixed reviews
from critics.
The film starts with Daman Singh
Bagga (Jimmy Sheirgill) and Usman Afridi (Piyush Mishra) being kidnapped by
some Chinese goons and they're brought to Shanghai, China. Then the movie goes
into a flashback. Happy (Diana Penty) and her husband Guddu (Ali Fazal) go to
Shanghai, China for a concert. A Botany professor, also named Happy (Sonakshi
Sinha), comes to Shanghai to join a university as a lecturer. At the airport
the Chinese goons kidnap Happy 2 (Sonakshi) mistaking her for Happy 1 (Diana).
They take Happy 2 into custody and demand a contract as a ransom. The contract
was actually given to Javed Ahmed and his son Bilal Ahmed (Abhay Deol), who was
friend of Happy 1 shown in the previous movie. The contract was given to their
rivals So, they kidnapped Happy 2 ( Sonakshi) thinking she is Happy 1 (Diana)
and that she could convince Bilal to give them the contract and as soon as she
does this they will release her. Happy 2 (Sonakshi) is unable make them believe
that she is not that Happy they are looking for and that they have the wrong
Happy. Chang (Jason Tham), one of the goons does not believe her. Being left
with no other options he abducts Bagga from his wedding ceremony in Amritsar
and Usman from his farewell ceremony in Lahore. In the present moment in time.
Chang tells Bagga and Afridi to convince Happy 2 to do what they want her to do
and convince Bilal into handing over the contract to them. But they soon learn
that Happy 2 has run away. Meanwhile, Happy 1 and Guddu reach the university
and are told by authority to join the orientation programme. Clueless, they
join the orientation and roam around the city. Meanwhile, Happy 2 hides in a
bar where she met Khushwant Singh Gill aka Khushi (Jassi Gill) who works in the
Indian embassy. She hides in his car. After which he sees her and listens to
her story, at first Khushi is not willing to help her but he finally agrees. He
takes Happy 2 to his house. The next day, he takes her to his office to meet
his boss Adnan Chow (Denzil Smith), a half Pakistani and half Chinese. Adnan
assures Happy that he will help her. In the meantime, Chang find Happy's
location and goes there with Bagga and Usman. Upon reaching there, Chang orders
them to catch Happy. But after seeing Happy 2, they get confused as she is not
the Happy that they know they know. They then go to Khushi's house and Chang
arrives there. Happy 2 hits Chang and he goes unconscious. Bagga and Usman
decide to join Happy 2 and Khushi. They go to meet FAQ, Khushi's friend. They
find out that Happy 2 came China not only to join the university, but also to
find her eloped fiancée Aman Wadhwa (Aparshakti Khurana) who abandoned her two
years ago. Happy 2 tells them that she does not want them involved in the
situation causing them to get into trouble so she will look for her alone but
Khushi and the other decide to help her anyway. They take Adnan's help in
getting Aman's location only to find out that he does not live there anymore.
Chang catches up with them and attacks them but they manage to escape. Khushi
and Bagga Both start to fall for Happy 2 and challenge each other to see who
can win her heart. FAQ meets Happy 1 and Guddu but does not recognise them.
Happy 2 and the others find out that Chang works for Adnan and that Adnan was
the mastermind behind this whole operation as he wants the contract from Bilal
Ahmed. Happy 2 and the others also find out that Aman is in jail, so they plan
to meet Aman in jail but end up getting caught. Upon being caught they explain
the whole situation to the police they are released and finally go to meet
Aman, upon arrival they see Aman dancing dressed as a female in front of the
other prisoners and find out that Aman is gay and is living in jail just to be
with his boyfriend. Happy 2 makes Aman realise his mistake and he agrees to
apologize to her father about what he had done to her and her family. They all
leave for Shanghai. Chang finally realises that Happy 2 is not the Happy that
he was looking for. That night Chang kidnaps Happy 2 again with the help of
Bagga and Usman who help him without realising as they are extremely drunk. The
Next morning Khushi receives a call from Adnan who tells him he has kidnapped
Happy2 to help him motivate himself into bringing him Happy1. Khushi goes to
the others for helps, Bagga suggests that they arrange a concert to find Guddu.
Aman takes responsibility to promote the event and FAQ arranges the concert. On
the day of the concert Guddu and Happy 1 show up and they explain the situation
to them. Guddu is not ready to help them but Happy 1 agrees as she believes
that she is responsible for what's going on. Meanwhile, Happy 2 runs away from
Adnan's custody. Unbeknownst to that Khushi and the others go to meet Adnan and
his men. But Khushi understands what's going on an starts to run away along
with Bagga, Usman, Guddu and Happy 1. Happy 2's Father finds out that Happy 2
has gone to China along with her cousins but has been missing for the past
three days. Happy 2 finds Khushi and the others and follows them to catch Adnan
and his gang they finally manage to catch them and hand them over to the
police. Happy 2 and Khushi thank Happy 1 and Guddu for helping them. Happy 2
and Khushi are united and she finally meets her father. The movie ends in a
scene showing Bagga flirting with Happy 2's cousins and everyone laughing.
Thus Jassi Gill as Khushwant Singh
Gill aka Khushi was found to be an excellent performer.
The soundtrack of the film has been
composed by Sohail Sen while the lyrics are written by Mudassar Aziz and Qamar
Jalalabadi (noted).The song of the film, "Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu"
from the 1958 film Haowrah Bridge originally sung by Geeta Dutt and composed by
O. P. Nayyar has been recreated for this film by Sohail Sen in the voices of
Sonakshi Sinha, Jassi Gill and Mudassar Aziz.
Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi was
released on 24 August 2018 to mixed response from film critics.
Jassi Gill is a part of another
project ‘Panga’. Panga (transl. To mess with) is an upcoming Indian
Hindi-language sports drama film directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and produced
by Fox Star Studios. It stars Kangana Ranaut, Jassi Gill, Richa Chadha and
Neena Gupta, and is about the life of a kabaddi player.
Filming began on 11 November 2018
in Bhopal and the first schedule was wrapped up on 7 December 2018. The second
schedule of the film was wrapped up on 27 February 2019. The film is scheduled
for release on 24 January 2020.
Story of Panga was conceived from
the life of a national level Kabbadi player in July 2018. It follows her
triumphs, struggle and overcoming of stereotypes. It shows that the support of
family is important and stresses that your kin standing behind you, no one in
the world can take ‘panga’ with you (mess with you). Panga was announced on 21
August 2018 with Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari sharing an emotional Instagram video
montage of herself, Kangana Ranaut, Jassi Gill, Neena Gupta and their families,
indicating that when your kin stands behind you, no one in the world can take
‘panga’ with you.
Gill is playing role of husband of
Ranaut. He loved the script, especially the inspiring family angle. The film is
a roller-coaster of emotions but to him the real Indian family feeling was the
most heart-warming part of the subject. Since he comes from a very close-knit
family, he could identify with the story.
The actors appearing in the film as
kabbadi players including Ranaut underwent training in kabaddi for over two
months.
The film went on floor on 11
November 2018 in Bhopal. The first schedule of the film was wrapped up on 7
December 2018. The second schedule of the film was wrapped up on 28 February
2019. The director planned next schedule in a Delhi stadium in April. The third
schedule of shooting began in April 2019 in Delhi.
First look of the film was shared
by the director of the film Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari on 7 March 2019, a still photo
in which leading pair is laughing while looking at the sunset.
The film is scheduled for release
on 24 January 2020. We will have to wait and see whether the film ‘Panga’ will
catapult Jassi Gill to still greater height.
