It was 15 years ago that Neha Dhupia faced the camera for the first time for Pradeep Sarkar. Now she will reunite with the director for a film called Eela in which Kajol will play the lead role. The movie is produced by Ajay Devgn, who was the first co-star of the actress in Qayamat which was her Bollywood Debut.
In an interview, Neha while smiling said; “Yes, life has come a full circle. There is so much in common with the producer and director for me; this movie is going to bring back a lot of memories”. She recalls, “I was really young, a Delhi-based model, when I got a call from Sarkar for the video. He had come to the capital and I met him at Noida. He saw me and said ‘chalo ho gaya’. That was the first time I sat in a plane.” Now, when she got a call from him for the film, she was more than excited. “I play an interesting part, that of a woman, Padma, who runs a drama school. Sarkar is a perfectionist, he knows what he wants and pays the minutest attention to details. My look is very interesting, which will be revealed later.”
She also talked about her producer-cum-friend Ajay that she has been in touch with him after her debut. She said; “I would like to thank him for thinking about me for his production." On the other hand, she talked about how she has just interacted with Kajol at events. She said; “She seems like an amazing person and I have always been her fan. Her acting is so effortless. I am prepared and nervous to face the camera with her”.
Neha will start shooting for the film from February 19.
