Sonakshi found driving mini
truck tiring
Mumbai :Actress Sonakshi Sinha
says driving a heavy manual mini
truck for a sequence in "Happy Phir
Bhaag Jayegi" was extremely tiresome.
"I do have some practice driving
manual cars but this mini truck
was no cakewalk. It was a very old
and heavy vehicle and because it
was manual, the steering and gears
were extremely tiresome and required
a lot of strength to manuver,"
Sonakshi said in a statement
to IANS.
"Since it was a chase sequence, I
had to accelerate the speed but with
enough skill to guide my course
safely on the roads. Having to burn
rubber with that massive beast was
quite the challenge but when we got
it, the feeling was incredible," she
added.
"Happy Phir Bhaag Jayegi" is
a sequel to "Happy Bhag Jayegi",
featuring Diana Penty, Ali Fazal
and Abhay Deol that was released
in 2016.
The romantic comedy narrated
the story of a girl named Happy,
who runs away from her wedding
and reaches Pakistan by mistake.
Diana features in the sequel too.
She is joined by actress Sonakshi
whose character also runs away
T:5” from her wedding. Mudassar Aziz,
who helmed the first part, is back on
the director's chair for the sequel.
The scene for which Sonakshi
drove the vehicle was crucial.
"It was a rather crucial scene
that was being shot in Kuala Lumpur
recently. The scene was a chase
sequence for which Sonakshi was
required to drive a mini truck as a
means for her character to escape.
"The truck was an old, heavy
metal bodied hulk and driving it required
a fair bit of familiarity and
control with it's weight and functionality.
She was clear from the
get go that she didn't want a double
for it and hence she spent a fair bit
of time driving the truck and getting
used to it. It was not easy as it
was an old self geared truck which
required some serious strength to
push it around," said a source.
Made under the banner Eros
International and Aanand L Rai's
Colour Yellow Productions, the film
will also feature Abhay Deol and
Jimmy Shergill. "Happy Phirr Bhag
Jayegi" is set to release on August
24.
