South African supermodel Michelle makes her Bollywood debut in the song with Akshay Kumar in the film. The Shaukeens also stars Lisa Haydon, Anupam Kher, Piyush Mishra, Annu Kapoor among others. Produced by Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde, the film is slated to release on November 7, 2014.
For this, special permissions had to be arranged for. Thankfully, it was the weekend so most of the offices were shut and traffic was also easy. The biggest roar Akshay Kumar received was when the yacht drove through a densely Asian populated area. People stood on the side of the roads and cheered for him.
Though Akshay Kumar only has an extended cameo in the upcoming comic caper The Shaukeens, the peppy tracks that feature the actor have many stories hidden behind it. Akshay Kumar who plays the role of an alcoholic, has a song that is dedicated to all the ones who love to drink. And now, what is making news is the romantic number 'Meherbani'.
Shot amidst picturesque locales of Cape Town, 'Meherbani' sees Akshay Kumar riding a yatch. The makers decided to shoot in a different location in order to add the romantic feel and we hear it was Akshay Kumar who wanted to keep this song unique. Initially, a part of this song was supposed to have been shot on a yacht in water. But once the yacht arrived, there was a change of plans. Akshay felt it would be more interesting if we drove the yacht on a pair of wheels on the streets of Cape Town.
