Vidya Balan reveals her experience of working on ‘Tumhari Sulu’

She lights up the screen with her powerhouse performances and is synonymous with character-driven, serious roles. So, it comes as a refreshing delight to see Vidya Balan in a lighthearted character, in the upcoming movie ‘Tumhari Sulu’. Yesterday, the trailer was launched and for most part of the trailer, we were left giggling, all thanks to Vidya aka Sulu’s crazy antics.

So, the actress got chirpy while talking to a news agency about her experience of working on the movie. She said, “It was an exceptional experience working with (director) Suresh Triveni. The day he narrated me the whole script, it was one of the best scripts I’d heard in the longest time. But during the filming, a lot of changes happened… We all thought we can make the film better, so everyone gave 200 per cent from the heart, it was tiring at times, but at the end, there was immense satisfaction.” (Also Watch: ‘Tumhari Sulu’ trailer: Vidya Balan’s Sulu act will make you laugh out loud)

She added, “I definitely know that I’ve not had fun on the screen for a while. I’ve been playing very intense and heavy characters, and after a long time I got to play this character, who is always smiling, laughing and making people laugh. I do think it is precious to make people smile and laugh, and if a film is able to do that, it is amazing. I was definitely missing that in my life.” In the movie, she plays a middle class woman who works in a late night show on radio jockey. Admitting about how it got difficult for her to not laugh on sets sometimes, she said, “When I start laughing, it becomes really difficult to control myself, I mean there are situations in the film, which are so funny, so just not to laugh in the scene was a big challenge for me.”

Directed by Triveni, ‘Tumhari Sulu’ is produced under T-Series and Ellipsis Entertainment. Starring Vidya Balan, Manav Kaul, Neha Dhupia and RJ Malishka, it will be releasing on Nov 17 this year.
