In case you have forgotten who Neetu Chandra is, we are here to help you out- she was last seen in flicks like ‘One, Two, Three’ and ‘Traffic Signal’. Yes, Neetu is back to make her presence felt. In the coming months, she will be seen in ‘Oye Lucky Lucky Oye’, Flat No. 13B’ and ‘Kusarprasad Ka Bhoot’.
Not only this, Neetu has been signed by director Jeevita Rajasekhar for the Telugu remake of Raj Kumar Santoshi directed ‘Khakee’ and interestingly enough, Neetu will be playing the role of Tusshar Kapoor as well as Lara Dutta in the remake.
Confirms Neetu Chandra, “I loved Khakee and there was no way I would have missed an opportunity to be a part of the story, even though it was made in Telugu. In any case this is not the first time that I am working in a project down South. I have earlier also acted in GODAVARI.”
Talking about the film which will be titled ‘Satyamev Jayate’, Neetu reveals, “I play the role of a subordinate cop which was enacted by Tusshar Kapoor in the original. The character was so well written that it was noticed in spite of Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan in the film. Icing on the cake was to jig to the dance number that is based on ‘Aisa Jadoo Daala Re’.”
About the item number played by Lara Dutta, Neetu smiles and says, “That’s the beauty of the script. The number has been amalgamated well into the role of the cop I play and the dance sequence is justified too. Composer Chinna has come up with an excellent tune which stands up for ‘Aisa Jadoo Daala Re’.”
The film also stars Sheril Pinty and Sanjana as the leading ladies other than Neetu Chandra. The film has Milind Soman as the main villain with Atul Kulkarni being repeated from the original cast of Khakee. “I am happy with the part I play as it is that of a lead role. I picked it up because it had lots of action. In fact you won’t believe the kind of stunts I have performed for the film”, says Neetu who is not new to action and is a taekwondo black belt who has earlier represented India.
