Tapping Juhi’s comic talents

MUMBAI: Everyone knows Juhi Chawla as that rare and precious entity called the comedienne. For instance, the ad for Kur-kure in which she plays Tulsi from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi with wicked wit.

Now Juhi will have a whole film written to exploit her comic talents. To be produced by Sa Re Ga Ma, the film titled Na Na Karte will feature Juhi in a unique tailor-made role of the kind never done by a Hindi film heroine before.

“Though the film will have two heroes and leading ladies, so far we have locked in only Juhi Chawla for the project. It is a role only she can do and a film that perhaps cannot be made without her,” Sa Re Ga Ma’s chief executive (movie production) Harish Dayani said. “Juhi plays a male version of what Paresh Rawal generally does in our movies.”
