Actress Jacqueline Fernandez is going through a great phase in her career and her first co-star, Riteish Deshmukh, has a great opinion of her, terming her a “live wire” on the sets of their latest film Bangistan.
Asked at a media interaction about Fernandez, Deshmukh said: “One thing that has not changed about her is her intention to work harder every time. She is extremely hardworking. Whenever she comes on the sets, she is like a live wire. There’s a certain amount of energy she has that she brings on the sets or wherever she is.
“What has changed is the fact is that she’s become a better performer, [an] even more confident dancer. You can see that in her performance in songs — there is a certain level of perfection that she’s attained. Hats off to her and I wish her all the best. I’m really happy for her that she’s doing so well.”
Fernandez’s first two films were with Deshmukh — Aladin and Jaane Kaha Se Aayi Hai. But she gained a lot of recognition for her song in Housefull, which Deshmukh was also a part of. They worked again in Housefull 2 and then she went on to do many successful films such as Murder 2, Race 2 and Kick.
Bangistan also stars Pulkit Samrat and is produced by Excel Entertainment. It is scheduled to release in India on August 7.
