| |||||
By Lubhna Seal - July 5, 2019 Divya Dutta is famous for her versatility in acting and the different characters she plays and delivers effectively. The actress is now taking up another role that would be remembered by her fans and followers. The story would also star Surekha Sikri playing the role of a Queer who is in search of her identity and sense of self in this unaccepting society. Faraz revealed that Divya Dutta was in hus mind for this role since the time he has been working on the films script. He said, “Divya and Swara are two celebrated names in the industry and strong allies of the LGBTQIA+ community. It was an easy decision to approach them. In fact, when I started writing the film, I had Divya in my mind, and already saw her playing this role. The day I finished the script, I put up a status on Instagram saying I need someone to play the role, and Divya was actually the first person to call me. It was kind of bizarre that both of them were thinking on the same lines. Without even reading the script, she said she wanted to do the film.” Divya reveals that she is looking forward to playing this role because of the rapport she shares with Faraz. She said, “I have worked with him previously and I know what he has to offer. For me, this is not just a film. It’s a story about relationships – including this woman’s with her family and her partner, which is something that needs to be talked about amid all the taboo that exists in our society. I took up this role because I wanted to challenge myself as an actor and discover another side of me. I am in good hands, as I have Swara and Surekha ji as my co-actors, who are equally fabulous. I always wanted to share a screen with them. It is going to be lovely to bring in all the emotions of women who are in this and find a way to strike a balance in society.” |
