Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra kicked off the shooting of, Jabariya Jodi, in Lucknow, earlier this month. We have now learnt that Javed Jaffrey will make his comeback on the big screen with the film as Sidharth’s father.
“My character in the film is that of a bad-ass gangster from Bihar. It's a very interesting, real, raw and fun character which adds a great dimension to the story,” Javed shared.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shailesh R Singh, 'Jabariya Jodi' is based in Bihar where the actor plays a man who has made a business of abducting grooms with Parineeti as his childhood love. While Siddharth plays a small town Bihari, Parineeti’s character in the film, though stuck in Patna, is heavily influenced by the west. Both are very exciting characters.
Debutant director Prashant Singh who is helming the project recently revealed that the unusual romantic-drama grew from a one-line idea suggested by Sanjeev Jha, who co-wrote the script with Raj Shandilya.
Coax the actor if he had any apprehension in playing the role of a father on the big screen and he shares, “There was no apprehension while deciding to play a father’s role on the big screen as I believe it's time to reinvent and present a diverse, fresh outlook.“
The makers are aiming to wrap up the shoot in Lucknow by October-November. And will shoot for some portions in Patna. When asked about collaborating and working with Sidharth Malhotra, Javed said, “Working with Sid has been a wonderful experience. He has got a great personality and I was surprised to see him getting into the skin of his character so well. We share a unique father-son chemistry in the movie. The director, Prashant Singh has left no stone unturned to make this film into a full-on entertainer and it will be a treat for the audiences to watch.”
