While
Akshay
Kumar
has
been
ruling
the
roost
as
a
reigning
Singh
Is
Kinng,
guess
who
has
turned
into
a
Punjabi
munda
with
a
vengeance?
It
is
none
other
than
'sadda'
Himesh
Reshammiya!
Even
though
he
belongs
to
Gujarati
origin,
Himesh
has
developed
a
sudden
fascination
for
anything
and
everything
which
is
Punjabi.
Reason?
His
character
in
his
upcoming
film
M2KNDM2K
(
Mudh
Mudh
Ke
Na
Dekkh
Mudh
Mudh
Ke)
is
that
of
a
modern
boy
who
hails
from
Delhi.
So
much
has
the
actor/composer/singer
immersed
himself
into
the
character
that
he
has
started
conversing
with
everyone
around
him
in
Punjabi.
Chuckles
a
source
attached
to
the
crew
of
the
film
which
is
currently
filming
Karzzzz
in
Cape
Town,
"Himesh
bhai,
or
shall
I
now
say
Himesh
paaji,
is
going
an
extra
mile
to
get
prepared
for
the
character
he
enacts
in
M2KNDM2K.
Since
learning
Punjabi
doesn't
happen
in
a
day
or
a
week,
he
has
already
started
working
on
getting
the
accent
right.
So
much
so
that
he
speaks
to
everyone
on
the
sets
in
Punjabi
only."
When
contacted
Himesh
was
initially
reluctant
to
talk
about
his
preparation
plans
for
M2KNDM2K.
However,
he
did
confess
that
he
was
required
to
pick
up
the
Delhi
lingo.
He
said,
"See,
you
are
required
to
work
hard
on
any
role
that
you
play,
whether
in
terms
of
body
language,
mannerisms
or
the
way
you
speak.
To
add
authenticity
to
the
character,
it
is
very
important
to
get
the
accent
right.
We
all
know
that
Delhites
have
a
very
peculiar
accent
and
one
can't
afford
to
allow
a
slip
here
or
there."
Himesh
goes
on
to
add,
"M2KNDM2K
is
a
modern
day
love
triangle
and
it
travels
from
India
(Delhi
and
Punjab)
to
Paris.
I
don't
want
to
miss
out
on
the
detailed
nuances
that
a
Delhi
boy
would
have
in
his
character
and
hence
have
started
practicing
right
away."
