Mumbai:
Neena Gupta says Sooraj Barjatya is certainly one of her favorite filmmakers and it was a dream come true to work with the director on his upcoming film “Uunchai”.
The movie centres on 4 pals of their twilight years, performed by Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Danny Denzongpa.
Neena Gupta, who has been within the movie business for the previous 4 many years, mentioned throughout her struggling days she had made quite a few visits to the director’s Rajshri Productions workplace for work.
“I felt fortunate that Sooraj Ji called me and gave me a role in a very nice script. My only aim was to give my best because I wanted to work with him for many years and now I had that opportunity. I love the films they make.”
“For me Rajshri Productions is really too big and while I was growing up I have often tried to meet Sooraj ji but never got to the chance. Finally I got this film, it is unbelievable,” the 63-year-old actor instructed PTI.
In the film, Neena Gupta performs the position of Shabina, a housewife, whose life revolves round her husband and daughter. But in her private life, the actor mentioned she finds it troublesome to take a seat at residence and simply give attention to the household.
“Before marriage, I would work from morning to night, look after the child, had my father (to look after). I had to work for money then. After I got married, I decided I will be at home, look after Masaba, watch films, go on holiday, etc.
“I did this for 10 years and was very sad. Everybody took me as a right. It was boring. What motivates me is figure. I’m very joyful when I’m working,” she added.
“Uunchai”, produced by Rajshri Productions in association with Mahaveer Jain Films and Boundless Media, also features Sarika and Parineeti Chopra. The film is set to release in theatres on November 11.
Neena Gupta will also be seen in the film “Baa” directed by Hardik Gajjar, R Balki’s segment of “Lust Stories 2“, “Shiv Shastri Balboa” alongside Anupam Kher and anthology “Ishq E Naadan” with “Saans” co-star Kanwaljit Singh.
