- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,May 21 2021]
Actress Neena Gupta revived her career after starring in Ayushmann Khurrana's film 'Badhaai Ho'. After coming to mainstream limelight after that film, Neena has done quite a few interesting movies and the recent one was 'Sardar Ka Grandson'. Although the actress is used to playing middle aged mother roles but this time she had to portray a 90 year old Grandma. Apparently, the actress wasn't very keen to take on the role but the story of the film made her change her mind.
She told Indian Express, I though I don’t want to do a 90-year-old now, before listening to the script. But, after I did that, there was not even a second thought. I instantly said a yes. It’s very rare at my age that you get a role like this. Plus, it was a very challenging role. I’m still very nervous whether I overdid it, if I lost the posture or got the wrong voice tone, all those concerns of an actor. They always find fault in their performance. After initial 3-4 days, I got comfortable with my prosthetics. Main thing is script and dialogues are very nice.
'Sardar Ka Grandson' is feel movie about a man who goes beyond his way to fullfill the dying wish of his 90 year old grandmother.
