Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri says as a child she could not take any music lessons as she grew up “really poor.”
In her upcoming film “Banjo”, the 36-year-old actress plays a DJ from New York, who comes to Mumbai to find local talent and make music with them.
“For me, I regret being really poor growing up so I couldn’t afford to take lessons. That was really sad. I believe playing an instrument is something really beautiful and a great talent,” the actress told reporters here.
Directed by Ravi Jadhav, the musical drama features Riteish Deshmukh as a Banjo player. Nargis said she came on board for the film as she instantly connected with the story. “For me, it was the story. There was a lot of soul and depth. It addressed something I thought was very beautiful.
The character fit very well, and I am sure that’s why I was called to hear the story.” Banjo is scheduled to release on September 23.
About the film, Riteish Deshmukh said: “‘Banjo’ is indeed an extremely special film because my friend Ravi Jadhav and Krishika (Lulla, producer) both thought of me in this role, which is probably against so-called type; It is not a comedy, it is a musical. I’m glad that they had faith in me to do this role and I hope that I have lived up to their expectations.
