Actor Prateik Babbar, who will feature with friend and actor Jackky Bhagnani in the Hindi remake of Telugu film Pelli Choopulu, says he enjoys playing characters that are not entirely good or bad.
The shooting schedule of the Hindi remake, helmed by director Nitin Kakkar, is underway. According to sources, Babbar will play the love interest of the lead actress Kritika Kamra.
“Jackky is a good friend and when he asked me to be a part of [the remake], I couldn’t turn down the offer. Besides, I feel grey shade characters work well for me. I saw the original and absolutely loved it,” Babbar said.
“It kind of changed my perspective on love and marriage. I have shot a few scenes already in Ahmedabad and have one sequence left to be shot. Nitin ji has beautifully adapted the original for a wider audience. It’s a fresh and relevant story for youngsters,” he added.
Babbar, who will also feature in Baaghi 2 and Mulk, will be doing a friendly appearance in the Phantom Films-produced romantic-comedy as the lead antagonist.
He and Bhagnani worked together earlier this year in the Jeff Goldberg theatrical production titled Riddles, but this is the first time they will be acting together in the big screen.
