The Gulabo Sitabo Tongue Twister Is Keeping These Celebs Very Busy

"Gulabo ki khatar patar se, titar witar Sitabo. Sitabo ke agar magar se uthal puthal Gulabo..." sounds simple, right? Try saying it five times, like Amitabh Bachchan asked celebrities to. Just days ahead of the release of Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana's new film Gulabo Sitabo, the co-stars dropped an interesting challenge for their colleagues - the challenge is to ace the tongue twister mentioned above and say it five times without a glitch. Started by Ayushmann and Big B, the challenge has been keeping celebs such as Taapsee Pannu, Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, Vicky Kaushal, Rajkummar Rao, Yami Gautam, Ishaan Khatter, Vikrant Massey among others rather busy.

Taapsee Pannu shared a video of her attempting the tongue twister on her Instagram story:

It all started with Amitabh Bachchan writing this with a video of him attempting the tongue twister himself: "Bas 5 baar bolna hai yeh tongue twister Koshish karenge aap log .. Karenge toh humari chandi ho jayegi.. Sivaye ek ke." Meanwhile, Ayushmann had this to say: "Baankey tongue twisters mein bhi mahir hai."

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Gulabo Sitabo stars Ayushmann Khurrana as Baankey, aka Sitabo - a young, shrewd, not-so-well off and hot headed tenant. Big B's character is named Mirza, the titular Sitabo, who is an aged and grumpy landlord.

Gulabo Sitabo will have a digital release on Amazon Prime Video on June 12.
