Mumbai: TellyChakkar exclusively brings to you another piece of news about the TV world.
Recently, we reported on Pippa Hughes’ (of 21 Sarfarosh - Saragarhi 1897 fame) upcoming project Zabaan Sambhalke (Eagle Films Production). The TV beauty is busy working on projects that not only have a great storyline but also a versatile bunch of actors.
Our sources confirm that Pippa will play a prominent role in Sanjay Mishra’s next, Color Black (produced by Cinema Squad and directed by Anand Singh). Pippa, who was seen opposite Ajay Devgn in Shivaay and played the character of Julia in Amazon Prime’s Shaitaan Haveli, will essay the role of Elizabeth in the movie.
We got in touch with Pippa. She confirmed the news and seemed ecstatic: ‘Shooting with Sanjay was so fabulous. I actually had no idea he was part of Color Black until I reached the set, and when I saw him, I got so nervous! I’d seen him in Golmaal 4, so I was a little star struck!’
Throwing some light on her character, Pippa said, ‘Elizabeth is actually a prostitute, and I took the role to really challenge myself because I personally have always felt so strongly about the negative views towards foreign girls here in India. I want to be the one to change this, to show how you can’t actually stereotype every one of the same skin color... not that everyone does, but it’s a general view. So to play Elizabeth was a big challenge for me. I needed to let go of this personal fight and allow myself to go the opposite way and fully become Elizabeth.’
Pippa further adds, ‘He (Sanjay) was so lovely. He had such fabulous ideas for the scenes and we came up with a really tense and interesting relationship between our characters. Not only Sanjay Sir but our director Anand was also very supportive and understanding; he removed everyone from the set and allowed me to feel totally comfortable.’
‘I think people will perhaps find this film very modern and different. It’s nothing like typical Bollywood, and I love Sanjay for being so involved in mainstream Bollywood and independent films. He really brings so much to the set and I’m looking forward to working with him again this year.’
Well, it seems that even Sanjay Mishra is excited about the film and looking forward to its release. Sanjay shared a post on his Instagram about the same. Check it out below!
