Speaking of the first song (titled ‘Pant Mein Gun’) they shot for the film, Sonakshi recalled how it was a complete chaos as they shot it during a live award show. She said, “No one knew what we were doing and even the fans on the red carpet were thoroughly confused. First, Diljit (Dosanjh, co-star) and I came out in our costumes for the shot and spotting us, the fans started calling out to us. We had to stop and announce that we were shooting a film and requested them to let us continue filming. However, they failed to understand and continued screaming for us. Later, I changed and went back on the red carpet in a different outfit and that flummoxed them even further.”

Helmed by Chakri Toleti and bankrolled by Jackky Bhagnani and Vashu Bhagnani, Welcome To New York is slated to release on February 23, 2018, while her upcoming third installment of the Dabangg franchise is said to go on floors in June this year. On the professional front, Sonakshi’s other release of the year is Happy Bhag Jayegi Returns, the sequel of the 2016 sleeper hit Happy Bhag Jayegi.
