New Delhi: Akshay Kumar defines love in the new song Bakheda from his upcoming film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. The 2-minute clip shows how Keshav (Akshay Kumar) and Jaya (Bhumi Pednekar) fall in love and develop a close bond while they sing "Jag mein na ishq se bada Bakheda" on the loop. Bakheda starts with glimpses of Keshav's miserable life due to his dominating father, played by Sudhir Pandey. But everything falls into place after Jaya's entry into Keshav's life. Bakheda is composed by Vickey Prasad and it is sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha releases on August 11. Watch Akshay and Bhumi's new Bakheda:
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha deals with issues of sanitation and prevalence of open defecation in India, especially in rural areas. Jaya is asked to join the 'lota party' soon after she gets married to Keshav. Jaya challenges the old societal norms but eventually leaves her husband's home. Thereafter, Keshav starts a battle against open defecation by building toilets.
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is Bhumi Pednekar's second film after 2105's Dum Laga Ke Haisha in which she was cast opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. Of working with Akshay Kumar, Bhumi told news agency IANS: "He is fantastic. He is actually a delight to work with. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and I definitely have to credit him and the core team for that."
