During the shooting of 'N Chandra's Breaking News' Smilie Suri's first shot was in a big chawl in Charni road. Before the shot, spot boy came and wired her properly with a big mike anchored behind her.

"I didn't know why they were wiring me so much. They had secured a big mike behind me with wire, something like what is used in plays. I was wearing a loose nighty, so it did not show.

My first shot was fine and only then my co star Purab came and told that the film is shot in synch sound where no dubbing is required.

He had not told me earlier because I would have got very scared. Imagine that after sitting at home for 8 months I get a film that needs theatrical expertise from the artist to deliver. Since my first take was good I was now confident, but I am happy because everybody who has seen the film, is liking my work."

Smilie Suri, the KALYUG girl is going through a make over. Laughs the young heroine, "Somehow in KALYUG my appearance was very 'desi' because that was the kind of role I was doing. In "N. Chandra's Breaking News" also I am playing a middle class Maharshtrian girl sporting Salwar Suits, but that's not me. I am a hard core Mumbai girl."

"N.Chandra's Breaking News" also stars Anupam Kher, Seema Biswas, Sarika, Rajpal Yadav, Parveen Dabbas, Perizad Zorabian, Rajat Kapur, Purab Kohli & Milind Gunaji & Smilie Suri. Smilie is playing the role of a call centre girl in the film.

It is after 4 years that N Chandra is directing a film. His last release was KAGAAR which released way back in 2003. Prior to that, he saw some good success coming his way in STYLE [2001], though it's sequel EXCUSE ME (2003) wasn't that successful.
