After a 3-year hiatus, Punjabi rapper Juggy D returns to Mumbai to shoot a video for the title track on Mumbai-based DJ B Projekt's debut album. The Guide dropped in for on-set action

Five years ago, when London's South Hall Punjabis invaded music television in India, rapper Juggy D was right up front clad in colour-coordinated Adidas tracksuits, ears pierced with jarring diamond studs, spiked-with-a-vengeance hair-dos, proclaiming love for our colourful Indian culture through Bhangra moves. With singer Jay Sean, he produced one of the biggest Punjabi hits, Nachna Mere Naal, and went on to croon Dil Vich Hum Tum (with Veronica) in the Saif-Rani Bollywood starrer, Hum Tum. This time around, he teams up with Mumbai DJ B Projekt, who is a regular at city clubs Play and Prive. He sheds the tracksuit, still carrying the classic buoyancy of a crazed Punjabi. He tells us how this visit marks no performances for him; only shoots and recordings; he'd just returned from Delhi having shot another video shoot for an upcoming UK-based album, and is simultaneously working on his new album.
