" I am happy to step out of my comfort zone and play a negative character,” says Soha Ali Khan, who’s set to play the antagonist in the upcoming film 'Chhorii 2', which is slated for release on Amazon Prime Video later this year.
The project, a sequel to ‘Chhorii’ (2021), has Nushrratt Bharuccha yet again in the lead role. Khan, who has joined the cast, is excited to explore her dark side for the first time in the horror film that offers a profound message. “The film deals with the horrors of being a woman in India—from being a foetus to being victims of abuse, rape and exploitation. There are also places where sati still takes place or dowry deaths continue to occur. The film spotlights one of those social evils. My character is a perpetrator of this crime,” she highlights.
It’s quite a departure from her other roles, but the confidence of her director, producers, and family reassured her of stepping outside her comfort zone. “My daughter, Inaya, and husband, Kunal (Khemu), also supported my decision. They said they can see me playing a slightly negative and mean character, probably because I am the strict and more disciplinarian parent at home,” she laughs.
