Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh is super excited that her film Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the first Bollywood film to release theatrically post lockdown, and that too on the Diwali weekend. She plans to take her friends and family to the theatre to watch the film together to celebrate Diwali.
“I will take my friends and parents to the theatre to watch our film, ‘Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari’. This is one of the first film that is releasing in the theatres as the theatres reopens, so I am excited. I hope the film earns well, I mean quite a ‘bhari’ amount at the box office. This is such a special Diwali for me because two of my films are released now!” she said, referring to the fact that she is also a part of Anurag Basu’s anthology Ludo that had an OTT release over the festive weekend.
“I am getting work, in spite of people not seen much of my work. Which means people have a certain amount of confidence in me. The success of the film is never in our hands but our performance is. If people like it, you will get work. So I am trying hard to deliver my best. Also, more than anybody putting pressure on us, we put pressure on ourselves,” Fatima said.
“It’s true that I thought that a lot of things will happen once ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’ (released) but that did not happen. What should we do? I cannot deprive myself of the fun that I had shooting the film, working with the best talents of our country and one of the biggest production houses of Bollywood. I am happy about all that and then, one has to move on!” she added.
