'I AM BRAHMA, VISHNU, MAHESH!'

Tanishaa Mukerji started her acting career with a bang when she got to play a YRF heroine in her second film Neal 'n' Nikki (2005).

Unfortunately, the project met with an overwhelmingly negative reception.

Some two decades later, Tanishaa is embracing her ‘3.0 version’ as she hopes to take on more work. She features in this week’s release Luv You Shankar, “Ours” is a fantasy film about baby Shankar. For the first time, we will see this avatar on screen. There’s also baby Ganesh, baby Bheem.”

Luv You Shankar revolves around Shiva mythology. Are you a spiritual person?

Yes. I don’t believe in that word ‘mythology’. That’s a word created by the British.

There’s nothing in our books that says Shiva was mythological. I think that Shiva did exist.

But yes, ours is a fantasy film about baby Shankar. For the first time, we will see this avatar on screen. There’s also baby Ganesh, baby Bheem. It is a lovely adventure film for children and adults.

What was the fun of working in an animation film?

Well, it was not easy during the shoot.

We had to imagine the character of baby Shankar (while enacting a scene), and I do not have a very colourful imagination.

When I saw the trailer, I was in awe of the fantasy that my director has created with this film.

This is going to be a fun treat for your niece and nephew. Are they excited to see it?

Well, Nyasa is a little more adult now.
