Dismissing the rumours, he says, “Such rumours are uncalled for. If someone is spreading it, he should have a spine to come out in open and talk about it. Why should I be jittery about doing his film just because his Himmatwala didn’t work as expected? He never promised anything different from what he delivered. He wanted to revisit the 80s in his own way and this is what he did. Sometimes things work and sometimes they don’t. That doesn’t mean you start doubting a director”.

He also tells that he really like Sajid Khan’s earlier work, he adds, “Right from Heyy Babyy to Housefull series, he has made entertaining films. I am glad that we are working together now. I am all excited to start the film this summer. It is going to be a fun outing”,.

“I have seen a lot of failure with my father. My father (Sajid Kamran Khan) was a very big filmmaker in the 1950s and 1960s. He used to make those black and white Dara Singh films. They were good films, but he never got the respect,” Sajid told IANS in a group interview. That time he didn’t work with Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar he used to work with Dara Singh. Although he (Dara Singh) was a big star, he was known as a B-grade stunt star. But the films were successful with the audience. But then my father saw failure and at that time I saw people who were with him suddenly disappeared,” he said.

Talking about the family’s struggle at that time, the actor-director said losses were big “We had four flats and we sold everything. We didn’t even have a phone. So, I am not scared of success or failure. I don’t get carried away with success. Your identity can’t be success or failure. You are your own identity. I had even said that in the future my film can flop, but not me,” said the 41-year-old.

“The fear of failure should be there. But it should not guide you. When you get scared of failure, you start taking other people’s advice very seriously… feel that there is no greater thing than destiny,” he said

After successfully hosting TV show “Sajid’s Superstars”, he started his career as a full-fledged director with blockbuster “Heyy Baby” and repeated the same success with “Housefull” and “Housefull 2″. Currently basking in the glory of “Himmatwala” success, he doesn’t approve of the person he used to be earlier.

“I used to make fun of other people’s films. I used to be stupid… But when I look back at that Sajid Khan, I want to tell him to keep quiet,” he said and added that he has learned a lot from his sister Farah Khan, a choreographer and filmmaker.

“I never interfered in her life. But I knew she would be an achiever. I learned a lot from her. I learned a lot in terms of how to evaluate your life. I was a crook. I used to lie and was almost in jail. But when work started coming, life became easier,” he said.

Once he entered the showbiz, Sajid knew he will make a film which will be successful. “I am a safe filmmaker. When I write a story, I feel that there are some points which bring in nostalgia. I don’t want to experiment. I am making films for the audience. My films have been super hits and I always knew that I will make a super hit film. I don’t think it is overconfidence,” he said.

Currently basking in the glory of “Himmatwala” success, Sajid doesn’t approve of the person he used to be earlier. The film features Southern actress Tamannaah and Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn in the lead roles.

The music of the film is given by Bappi Lahiri and Sajid-Wajid. The album has 5 songs in total. One of the song is composed by music composers Sachin-Jigar.

 Songs :

‘The album starts off with iconic song “Nainon Mein Sapna” recreated by Sajid-Wajid. The song is almost like the original one with very few changes.  Shreya Ghosal and Kishore Kumar’s son Amit Kumar have this song. The song is good but it is no where close to the original.

The next song is “Taki Taki”, sung by vocal super houses Mika Singh and Shreya Ghosal. It is loud, cheesy and fun song. It starts off very similar to “chinta ta chita” from Rowdy Rathore.  But again it holds its owm tune. This song also is recreated one from the original. This song pays a better hostage to the original than the first song.

Dhoka Dhoka is a true 80s song, it is kind of 80s item numbers and who better to sing than Sunidhi Chauhan and Mamta Sharma who have given us iconic Munni and Sheila. The Bhappi Lahari’s late entry in the song is very nice.

“Bum Pe Laat” is a sweet kiddish song. Shaan vocals complement the song really well. The background chorus by kids gives the feel to the song. It has got light music arrangements and frothy rhythm.

“Thank God Its Friday” is 80s retro song. Sachin-Jigar who composed the song have given a fitting tribute to the musicians of that era. Sunidhi Chauhan is reliably fun and gives the song that extra edge.

Bottom line : Overall the album is good but if you are not a fan of retro music then this is certainly not for you.

She turned into a item girl for the movie “Himmatwala” with the song “Thank God its Friday”. And for this song , Sonakshi Sinha learnt the famous “Moonwalk” step of Legendary singer/dancer Micheal Jackson. Incidentally this step was shown by director Sajid Khan.

Our sources say “Sajid Khan, himself got on the dance floor to teach Sonakshi the ‘Moonwalk’. He saw that the way Sonakshi is doing the step was a little different than how it should be, So he went on the dance floor and he decided to have some fun on the dance floor and also teach Sonaksh. Actually Sajid himself is a great dancer and during his college days, he performed this Moonwalk step in lots of dance competitions.”

It seems that genes of her sister and star choreographer Farah Khan has rubbed on to Sajid khan. When we asked he said ” The song has a retro feel to it, that is why i decided to include the famous step of that era. Sonakshi is a fabulous dancer and she showed it in the song. I was barely of help”.

According to a birdie, the song features five item girls grooving to a song with Ajay Devgn! Interestingly, the girls belong to five different parts of the country.

The song which has been choreographed by Ganesh Acharya is supposedly going to feature popular actresses from Bengali, Bhojpuri, Marathi, Punjabi and Gujrati cinema.

“The makers are set to release Dhoka this Friday. What is striking is that Sajid has gone ahead and roped in five superstars from five different film industries, who will be seen dancing with Ajay Devgn,” said a sorce whilst speaking to a tabloid.

Sayantani Ghosh from Kolkata, Rinku Ghosh from Bhojpuri films, Amruta Khanvilkar from Marathi cinema, Surveen Chawla from Punjabi films and Mona Thiba from Gujarati cinema are the five girls who will be seen shaking a leg with Devgn.

Recently, it had been reported that Ajay Devgn would be speaking in five different language(Bengali, Gujrati, Marathi, Punjabi and Tamil) in the movie. So what’s with the number five and Himmatwala we wonder? Well for that, we’ve got to wait and watch!

Himmatwala, which is all set to release on March 29^th, has been produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Vashu Bhagnani. The movie is presented by UTV Motion Pictures and Pooja Entertainment and Films.
