Actress Shazahn Padamsee, set to play a Gujarati girl in Meet The Patels, says it’s going to be a challenge for her.
“I am playing a character called Hetal Gandhi who is romancing one of the Patels in the film. Playing a Gujarati girl is going to be a very different experience and it’s going to be very challenging,” Padamsee said.
But she also believes that being able to do “different roles on screen” is the “best thing about being an actress”.
Meet The Patels is a “clean comedy” from Mickey Virus director Saurabh Varma. The film is based in Mumbai and is about two Gujarati boys, Tom Patel and Jerry Patel, who live life to the fullest and are up for anything except hard work.
Talking about the movie, Padamsee said: “It’s a crazy, mad, out-and-out comedy film. I am a little familiar with comedy films now. When I read the script, I was in splits and couldn’t stop laughing throughout. I am sure the audience are going to burst out laughing watching this film.”
The movie, produced by Krian Media, also features Shiv Pandit and Kettan Singh. Its first schedule is being currently shot in Mumbai.
Padamsee, who has earlier featured in movies such as Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji and Housefull 2: The Dirty Dozen, will be seen as a “quirky girl who ages from 22 to 50” in the film, which is slated to release on April 24, 2015.
She has been cast with Pandit.
