'Joker' is Shirish Kunder's second film as director.
Akshay Kumar had featured in Shirish Kunder's first film Jaan-E-Mann also.
'Joker' is about a place called Paglapur, which doesn't have a mention on the Indian map.
This is Sonakshi's third film after 'Dabangg' and 'Rowdy Rathore'.
Produced by Farah Khan, the film has been made at an approximate budget of Rs 40 crore.
Paglapur is a hypothetical village which is known for housing mental asylums.
Akshay Kumar is playing a NASA scientist in the film.
'Joker' deals with a scientist who is researching on aliens.
Interestingly, Akshay Kumar's name in the film is Agastya. This is the same name he had in 'Jaan-E-Mann'.
'Joker' is reportedly Akshay Kumar's 100th film, and thus he is leaving no stone unturned to promote the film.
The music of the film is composed by two music directors, GV Prakash and Gaurav Dagaonkar.
This is GV Prakash's first Hindi film as music director. Earlier, he had composed the background score of 'Gangs of Wasseypur'.
Gaurav Dagaonkar is not new to Hindi films. He has films such as 'Lanka' and 'Will You Marry Me' to his credit as music director.
'Joker' is scheduled to be released on August 31, 2012.
Earlier, 'Joker' was supposed to be a 3D film, but later the makers decided to come up with a 2D film only.
Chitrangada Singh is doing an item number for the first time in her career in 'Joker'.
The song 'I want fakht you' of the film generated a controversy due to its double meaning lyrics.
Though Sonakshi Sinha is much younger than Akshay Kumar, still there chemistry looks good on the screen.
Sonakshi has been among those rare actors who have entered twice the much celebrated Rs 100 crore club. She did it in 'Dabangg' and 'Rowdy Rathore'.
Akshay Kumar had two back to back superhits in 'Housefull 2' and 'Rowdy Rathore'. Is he going to make a hat-trick with 'Joker'?
