Kangana's the new 'Jugni'!

Leave aside Sheila, Munni and Chammak Challo, Kangana's doing Jugni!

The actress who is not really known for her dancing ability, left everyone speechless as she finished a Punjabi number in 5 hours straight, which was to otherwise take 3 days for completion!

Our source who was present on the sets of Kangana's forthcoming film 'Tannu weds Mannu' revealed, "Recently famous singer Mika Singh was asked to shoot a video of his upcoming song 'Jugni' with Kangana Ranaut. The song is from the film Tannu Weds Mannu. Being a hard core Punjabi number everyone expected the song to get over in three days. To top it all, the shoot started late as well and the complete unit was sure that the stipulated 3 days will become 4 days at least.

The unit was in for a surprise, though. Once the music started, Mika and Kangana got into the groove. The shoot that was to take 3 days eventually got wrapped in 5 short hours! Choreographer Saroj Khan was shocked herself and so was Mika Singh.

Mika reacted, " Kangana matched freestyle Punjabi steps with me so well and reminded me of the typical girls from Chandigarh who can match upto anyone at dancing from across the globe. Kangana was a dynamo on sets and it was so much fun shooting Jugni with her".

Kangana refuses to lip-lock Mika

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has shot a music video for promotional purpose for her upcoming film, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ starring Madhavan in the lead role where she was asked to lip-lock singer Mika who has lend his voice for the song but Kangana straightway refused saying that she is not Rakhi Sawant.

A source reveals, "Since the song has a crazy, wild and energetic vibe, the director Aanand L Rai decided to shoot it in wacky style too.

He came up with an idea for  Kangna to dance with Mika in the Baraat with the video culminating with him kissing her in his infamous Rakhi Sawant style."

Kangana shot the music video with full zeal but did not give to the director’s demand. She said in disgust, "I am not Rakhi Sawant to do some thing like this".

Kangna simply says, "I was not comfortable kissing for a music video."

Mika, Kangna set the dance floor on fire

It's not everyday that a song has so much energy that the actors get swept off their feet, but that seems to have happened during the shoot of a video with Kangna Ranaut and Mika Singh.

Call it chemistry or call it love for dance, but the video shoot for a song Jugni by Mika, which was to take three days to shoot, got shot in five hours flat. When the shoot started late the cast and crew were expecting further delays and a long drawn process of cuts and retakes, however, once Mika and Kangna matched steps there was no stopping them and much to choreographer Saroj Khan's delight, the song got done in a fraction of the time allotted to them. "We managed to can about 15 scenes of the video within a few hours. I must say that Kangna can dance as good as any Punjabi kudi I have ever met," gushes Mika, after his shoot with Kangna for Tanu Weds Manu.
