No prizes for guessing that by default, his tantalizing celeb-sister Rakhi Sawant and her dare-bare friend model-actress Urfi Javed were the prime attractions (or was it distractions) at the recent event co-hosted by Bollywood director Rakesh Sawant The senior film-maker seemed emotionally charged when his ailing mother Jaya released his video-track of his video ‘Lover Boy’ at the Juhu-Kingsman, as he reacted. “Mother’s blessings are the ultimate shagun. Our slick video ‘Lover Boy’ featuring smart-dude Raju Punjabi, has global class with its today’s music and today’s look. For a change the music track does not have Punjabi pop-bhangra-folk-flavour but a different fresh vibe music”, countered Rakesh, who is all set to revive his stalled under-production movie.
Reveals Rakesh, “Actually I am proposing to cast both Rakhi Sawant and her close friend model-actress Urfi Javed together for a special item-dance (sung by Asha Bhosle) in my-directed movie titled ‘IPS Officer Rajesh Khanna’. This song will emerge as the repeat-value crowd-puller for our completed film which has former superstar ‘late’ Rajesh Khanna, Kabir Bedi and Rati Agnihotri as the lead actress. Co-operative Khanna-saab has dubbed his own dialogues for this movie. We hope to release our movie in mid-July to coincide with the 80th birth anniversary of Kaka-ji (Khanna)”, disclosed film-maker Sawant who has directed Rajesh Khanna previously in a movie called ‘Wafaa’ (2008).
Asked if she was willing now to work ‘professionally’ with brother Rakesh, the outspoken Rakhi reacted, with a jestful disclaimer, “Sure why not, if the offer excites me and his movie or project budget can afford my price. But I want Rakesh to cast style-icon hot-sensation Urfi Javed in his upcoming videos as well,” shrugs Rakhi.
On a sensitive-sentimental note, the otherwise blunt-candid Rakhi enthused, “It’s our honour that we have with us our beloved mother Jaya-ji who was under intensive medical treatment for her critical illness. She stepped out after a long time, to bless Rakesh and me on the occasion of our music-video ‘Lover Boy’ release. I wish to draw benevolent Salman-bhai Khan’s attention that our Mom is right here looking so charming and cheerful, he keeps checking with me about her recovery. We also launched a music label called ‘Jaya Music’ on International Women’s Day dedicated to my Mother which will provide support to all those, whose high-quality music-tracks-music videos are not getting picked up by other music companies,” shared Rakhi, who seemed thrilled, to be sharing stage with ‘cheer-leader’ oomph-oozing actress-model Urfi Javed (Bigg Boss OTT-1 fame). Also present were macho actor Mukesh Rishi, eminent choreographer-model Rajeev Khinchi model-actress Ruby Ahmed (‘Lover Boy’) and stand-up-comedian Sunil Pal among the eminent guests.
