SULU ENTHRALLS SOLDIERS ON INDIA-PAKISTAN BORDER
Lives up to the film's tag-line "Main Kar Sakti Hai"
In line with the irrepressible "Main Kar Sakti Hai" spirit that exemplifies Sulu's curious and fun-loving character in the forthcoming film, "Tumhari Sulu", Vidya Balan made it to the heavily patrolled India-Pakistan border.
Last Saturday, Vidya, who was in Gujarat to promote her film, made it a point to drive for 150 kms from Bhuj through the broken parched earth of the Rann of Kutch to the desolate Vigakot outpost of the Indian army. There isn't much information about Vigakot in public domain in light of its sensitive position on the India map, but Sulu kar sakti hai, so having secured the necessary permit, she made it to the border outpost (BOP) Mohan 1111, despite a harsh overhead sun.
Wearing a stunning hand-woven sari and flowers adorning her hair, she enthralled the battalion with her charm, warmth and simplicity. Much to their excitement, she communicated with jawans from different parts of India using a smattering of their local language, which included Bengali, Manipuri and Odishi. One of the lady jawans even rendered a patriotic anthem, leaving Sulu teary-eyed.
To lighten the mood, she taught fifteen BSF lady constables the signature move from the chartbusting "Hawa Hawai 2.0" song in "Tumhari Sulu" (see pic) and recited the famous call-for-action line seen in the film's trailer in her characteristic seductive tone. The jawans, who, by now, were in no mood to let their endearing Sulu leave, insisted on her staying back for some more time while they rustled up hand-made sandwiches, pulao and paneer for lunch.
Finally, senior BSF members escorted Vidya and her entourage, under tight security, right up to the actual border between the two countries. Further across the fence, lay the Tharparkar district in the Sindh province of Pakistan.
"Where do I even begin? Meeting the BSF Jawans at the border has been a humbling privilege and an incredible experience. We are screen heroes, but THEY are the REAL heores. Such simplicity, zeal and dedication; a big hats off to them for enabling us to lead our lives without fear," says Vidya.
Leena Yadav's next stars Rishi Kapoor and Anirudh Tanwar
Leena Yadav, who directed critically acclaimed Parched, is all set to direct her next, Rajma Chawal, with Rishi Kapoor in the lead. The film goes on floor on November 7 in Delhi and is expected to wrap up by December-end in a start to- finish schedule. The film will revolve around a father-son duo and deals with generation gap-related conflicts. Anirudh Tanwar plays Kapoor's son.
Anirudh Tanwar debuts on screen as Rishi Kapoor's son, director Leena Yadav says,"The idea behind the film is to illustrate how everything happens over the mobile phone today. People would rather catch up over a chat than have a proper conversation and this affects parent-children relationships. Parents are struggling to cope with technological advancements and Rishi Kapoor portrays the many shades of a father, from funny to intense. Anirudh has trained at Lee Strasberg theatre and film institute and is a perfect fit. I've wanted to work with him since a long time."
Leena further informs that Amyra Dastur helps the father-son overcome their differences and the title rajma-chawal plays an important part in the narrative as Indians are emotionally connected to food. "Whenever I talk about rajma-chawal, it evokes a smile as people are reminded of home. There couldn't have been a more perfect title for a father-son relationship."
MANAV KAUL TAKES VIDYA BALAN ON AN IMPROMPTU SCOOTER RIDE!
In the forthcoming "Tumhari Sulu", Ashok (Manav Kaul) might drive Sulu (Vidya Balan) around in a Maruti Zen, but in real life, Ashok (wearing a helmet, thankfully) decided to floor his reel partner Sulochana (a.ka. Sulu) by taking her an unplanned scooter ride through Mumbai's Andheri by-lanes yesterday.
After completing press interviews, Manav borrowed a journalist's scooter and took Vidya pillion on a short but fun ride.
Vidya, true to her sporting, curious and enthusiastic character of Sulu, agreed and thoroughly enjoyed the experience; one she hadn't been through in a long time.
After a flurry of stares from excited onlookers and mobile picture-takers, the two returned to pavilion and went home (separately, of course!)
Shri. Prakash Mehta – Cabinet Minister, Government of Maharashtra – Housing Department graced the occasion with his presence. Mr. Sandip Patel the CEO – Vibrant Ceramics Expo & Summit-2017 addressed the people from the industry present there and invited to be a part of their grand event happening in November from 16th November to 19th November where they have all the buyers, sellers, across the globe under one roof.
