South Cinema: Neha Sharma of Chirutha fame and Sarah-Jane Dias of Panjaa fame are playing lesbian pair in the Hindi film Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum. When this Ekta Kapoor production first came Neha's way, her instant reaction was in the negative as she found the film's content way too risque and bold.
However it was only after further rethinking and advice from friends and industry insiders that Neha pulled herself up and became a part of the project. Her character in the film says things without thinking, mouths double meaning dialogues, presumably has a lesbian relationship with her friend (Sarah-Jane Dias) and does a lot of other stuff that could be considered taboo. Obviously, my instinctive reaction was to say 'no'.
However the makers insisted that she spend some more time on the overall prospects that the film and give it a rethink instead of taking a hasty decision.
After all, she was just one film old (Crook) in Bollywood and the sequel to Kyaa Kool Hain Hum carried enough promise to be a potential money spinner at the box office.
Says Neha, "I made myself understand that there is certain cinema which the audience wants to watch and hence you have to do that. You might not relate to it entirely but then as an actor it becomes all the more challenging."
