Bollywood beats in Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator trailer

By Hindustan Times

Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator trailer has just released and it's already trending on Twitter. Interestingly, the trailer of the spoof film plays to the very talked-about Bollywood song Mundiya Tu Bach Ke Rahi from the film Boom.

While Cohen is expectedly priceless within the character of General Shabazz Aladeen, a hybrid of General Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, the film itself looks rather promising.

The video begins with renowned leaders like USA President Barrack Obama, USA Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UK Prime Minister David Cameron calling for action against the 'tyrant', 'who must step aside'. What follows is an inspiring speech by General Aladeen, the dictator of the Republic of Wadiyan, which requires free press, fair elections and equal rights for wome...err...that's when the action begins.

While Mundiya Tu Bach Ke Rahi plays within the background, we get a glimpse what the dictator is in a position to. In a race where he himself calls the shots, literally, Aladeen randomly shoots at fellow competitors to make sure he wins the race.

The dictator is then invited to Big apple by the United Nations, in the event you please, to handle them. What happens as Wadiyan's dictator is unleashed on America. Watch the trailer to search out out.

Also seen within the film are Anna Faris in a brunette page-boy cut and Ben Kingsley, who plays a suspicious second-in-command to the overall. Incidentally, Hollywood star Megan Fox can be seen playing herself within the film.

The Borat star had generated a substantial amount of buzz in regards to the film and his character when he gate-crashed the 84th Academy awards ceremony in his 'Dictator' avatar. Interestingly, the official site of the film republicofwadiya.com has some interesting bios and links. A must-see.

The film will release on May 11.
