Rambo Rajkumar

The fire accident on the sets of Prabhu Deva’s Rambo Rajkumar earlier this week in Mumbai was not as minor as it is being made out to be. Apparently Shahid has got burn injuries on his back and hand and would need some time to recover fully. Says a source very close the film, “We were shooting a fire sequence when the chemical used to create the fire went awry. It singed Shahid’s shoulder and hand. It could’ve been much worse. Thankfully nothing serious happened.”

Determined to make Rambo Rajkumar his perfect comeback vehicle Shahid Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned in far-off Kandla in Gujarat to ensure the project has the kind of in-your-face slam-the-audience-nail-the-boxoffice impact which Prabhu Deva achieved with Salman Khan in <em>Wanted</em> and Akshay Kumar in <em>Rowdy Rathore</em>. From the simmering rugged location in Gujarat one came to know that Shahid pulled in his director Prabhu Deva to do a jig and to contribute to the choreography of a song-and-dance featuring Shahid and Sonakshi.

Prabhudeva’s Shahid Kapoor starrer Rambo Rajkumar has been slated for release on 15 November, 2013. The film was earlier titled <em>Namak</em>. It will follow Rakesh Roshan’s Hrithik Roshan-starrer <em>Krrish 3</em> that will release during Diwali on 2 November. <em>Rambo Rajkumar</em>, as the name suggests, is an action film packed with Bollywood masala. The film is generating anticipation since it brings together Shahid and Sonakshi Sinha for the first time together.

It is already known that that Shahid Kapoor has been signed for a film with Prabhu Deva at the helm. But there were much speculation about the title of the upcoming film. Earlier, reports had suggested that the film has been titled <em>Namak</em>, but actor, director Prabhu Deva has quashed these as saying, “I don’t know how this name came about. But this is not the film’s title.” He goes on to add that since the film’s subject is for the masses, the name will reflect that too. The filmmaker finally seems to have zeroed in on <em>Rambo Rajkumar</em> that has a mass appeal to it.
