Her Vibe Is Cool. Her Attitude Candid. Raghuvendra Singh Comes Away Charmed By Athiya Shetty.
Why did you take so long to sign your second film - Mubarakan?
I was offered a lot of films post Hero. But I was nervous. I didn’t know if I wanted to be part of them. It’s believed that your first film chooses you, while you chose your second film. But when I heard the script of Mubarakan… I was excited. I wanted to be part of that environment, the script, the team... I got to work with Anees (Bazmee) sir. He’s the king of his genre – comedy. And then who gets the opportunity to work with Anil Kapoor in their second film? I wanted to do comedy, song, dance… I’ve grown up watching those films. Mubarakan is a comedy with a heart. It celebrates togetherness through a happy, crazy Punjabi family. You’ll be able to relate to it like ‘Oh, I have a maasi like this’, or ‘I have a bua like this’!
Did you enjoy doing comedy?
