Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha Romance 'Kick' to be Shot in South Korea

Kick, headlining Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, will be filmed in South Korea at locales such as Jeju Island, Gyeongbogung Palace, Yongduam Rock, Hallasan Mountain, Hyeopjae Beach and Soingook Miniature theme park.

The film's producer, Sajid Nadiadwala, had earlier planned to shoot the film in Japan, but changed his plans following the recent devastating earthquake in the country and the consequent radiation leak at one of its nuclear power plant complex. [via Mid Day]

"We were to shoot in Japan but because of the earthquake and subsequent nuclear dangers we decided to shoot for Kick in Korea instead which has some exotic virgin locales," he said.

"I am disappointed we can't shoot in Japan as we wanted to shoot a major action sequence in Tokyo Square. However the South Korean tourism board has been very kind to us."

Kick is a remake of a 2009 Telugu action romance drama directed by Surender Reddy, starring Ravi Teja. Its a story of a man who loves challenges in life and does things to get kick out of them.

Sonakshi On The Hotseat!

Sonakshi Sinha will appear on the Bhojpuri edition of Kaun Banega Crorepati, a show hosted by her father, Shatrughan Sinha.

The episode will be recorded in Kolkata early next month, just as soon as Sonakshi finds the time.

Says the proud father, "Yes. Sonakshi is going to be on the hot seat. Audiences will finally get to see us together on screen."

Says Shotgun, "Sonakshi should not expect any easy questions just because she's my daughter. You'll be surprised to know she took the initiative.

She asked me if she could participate. I happily agreed. She's an intelligent girl. I know she'll conduct herself well."

Sinha Sr admits he needs to work on his Bhojpuri. "That's strange because my mother spoke to us in the dialect. I'm brushing it up for KBC. It isn't difficult. Bhojpuri has direct links with Hindi. So mastering it is no problem."

Shatru's first guest is politician Yashwant Sinha. "Sonakshi will follow. From the film industry I'll also invite Salman Khan to be on the hotseat," he says.

Amitabh Bachchan might also feature on the show. "Having him on my show makes perfect sense. I'll invite him personally. I am sure he will agree. The differences between us is a thing of the past."

Adds Sonakshi excitedly, "It will be great! I love the show. Although I don't speak Bhojpuri I can understand it. It would fun to be quizzed by dad."

Incidentally, a movie with the father-daughter duo is also in the works.
