Cricket’s beloved Gabbar, known for his thunderous cover drives and infectious smile, is set to steal hearts once again–this time, not on the field, but in front of the camera. Shikhar Dhawan is expanding his presence in the world of entertainment with a brand-new avatar: a performer in a high-energy music video titled “Besos”. And he is not alone. Joining him is Bollywood’s dazzling diva, Jacqueline Fernandez, known for her sizzling screen presence. The two are collaborating for the first time, and the pairing has already sparked excitement among fans, according to a release.
The track, described as funky, vibrant, and full of flair, is expected to bring out a playful, rhythmic side of Dhawan that fans have not seen before, the release said. Whether it is matching steps with a Bollywood superstar or bringing his signature swagger to the screen, Shikhar seems ready to show that his talents go well beyond cricket stadiums.
Actor-influencer Siddharth Nigam is all praise for Jacqueline Fernandez, his co-star in JioHotstar’s upcoming offering, Hai Junoon. Siddharth lauded Jacqueline’s enthusiasm, work ethic and spoke about their bond.
“Jacqueline is full of life and brings such positive energy to the set,” Siddharth told News18 Showsha, emphasising the vibrant aura she carries with her. “She’s someone who lights up every room she walks into,” he shared.
Centred around themes of passion, individuality and friendship, the series revolves around a musical competition in which two arch rivals — Misfits and Supersonics — collide. Neil plays the role of Gagan, who, according to a press release by the makers, “serves as the soul of Supersonics and embodies music itself, channeling rhythm, emotion, and raw intensity.”
Speaking about preparing for the role, Neil, son of playback singer Nitin Mukesh and grandson of late veteran singer Mukesh, said, “Music runs in my blood. When I was young, I had the privilege of training under my grandfather’s Guruji. That passion for music never left me, even after I chose acting as my profession. So, when I was offered the role of a pianist, I immediately jumped at it. It’s the first time I’m playing a character so closely aligned with who I am, at least when it comes to passion.”
