Since the promotional song of Shakalaka Boom Boom is on air, Upen is on an upbeat mood.

The songs are rocking the charts and the look of the song has caught the fancy of everyone. In fact Upen looks so good in the song and his performance is carrying such positive reports that producer director Suneel Darshan has called him the next Akshay Kumar. He has already signed Upen for his next 2 films.

Suneel Darshan is also all praise for Upen's professionalism. No wonder, even Subhash Ghai has signed Upen for 3 film contract post '36 China Town'. No wonder Upen is quite upbeat about his films and hopes that Shakalaka Boom Boom would repeat the success of his debut film.
