When
it
comes
to
giving
every
aspect
of
her
on
screen
performance
her
best,
one
can
always
count
on
the
ever
so
vivacious
and
versatile
Sonakshi
Sinha
to
come
through.
Right
from
training
in
martial
arts
and
doing
all
her
fight
sequences
herself
in
Akira
to
learning
about
the
Bengali
culture,
styling
and
language
for
Lootera,
the
girl
has
always
delivered.
But
for
her
next
rom-com
-
Happy
Phir
Bhaag
Jayegi,
Sonakshi
takes
her
commitment
many
notches
higher
as
she
learned
and
drove
a
manual
mini
truck
herself
for
a
major
film
sequence.
Talking
about
the
scene
and
Sonakshi's
victory
over
the
steel
beast,
an
insider
from
the
sets
says,
"It
was
a
rather
crucial
scene
that
was
being
shot
in
Kuala
Lumpur
recently.
The
scene
was
a
chase
sequence
for
which
Sonakshi
was
required
to
drive
a
mini
truck
as
a
means
for
her
character
to
escape.
The
truck
was
an
old,
heavy
metal
bodied
hulk
and
driving
it
required
a
fair
bit
of
familiarity
and
control
with
it's
weight
and
functionality.
She
was
clear
from
the
get
go
that
she
didn't
want
a
double
for
it
and
hence
she
spent
a
fair
bit
of
time
driving
the
truck
and
getting
used
to
it."
The
insider
further
revealed,
"It
was
not
easy
as
it
was
an
old
self
geared
truck
which
required
some
serious
strength
to
push
it
around.
By
the
time
it
came
to
giving
the
shot,
Sona
had
aced
it
despite
having
developed
sore
muscles
from
the
relentless
practise
and
locked
the
scene
in
no
time."
Talking
about
how
she
did
it,
Sonakshi
reveals,
"I
do
have
some
practice
driving
manual
cars
but
this
mini
truck
was
no
cake
walk.
It
was
a
very
old
and
heavy
vehicle
and
because
it
was
manual,
the
steering
and
gears
were
extremely
tiresome
and
required
a
lot
of
strength
to
manuver.
"Since
it
was
a
chase
sequence,
I
had
to
accelerate
the
speed
but
with
enough
skill
to
guide
my
course
safely
on
the
roads.
Having
to
burn
rubber
with
that
massive
beast
was
quite
the
challenge
but
when
we
got
it,
the
feeling
was
incredible," she
further
added.
The
sequel
also
stars
Diana
Penty
and
Jimmy
Sheirgill
who
also
starred
in
the
first
film.
The
shooting
for
the
film
is
currently
underway
in
Malaysia.
Happy
Phir
Se
Bag
Jayegi
also
marks
the
Bollywood
debut
of
Punjabi
singer
Jassie
Gill.
The
film
is
slated
to
release
on
24th
August.
