The Leading Lady

What I love about her is that she is the first one to get ready,has never ever complained about being tired and never stopped the shooting for a touch-up,” says Naseeruddin Shah about the female lead of his next movie Chaalis Chauraasi. Kay Kay Menon nods his head in agreement. “She is really hot and has the sexiest figure,” Menon laughs as he refers to a police van with the registration number plate MH-02-CA-4084,the leading lady of the film Chaalis Chauraasi.

“Why would we need anyone else when we have the van,which we are chasing in the entire movie? She sure knows how to make us run behind her,” says Atul Kulkarni,joking how she’s grabbed the maximum space on the film’s posters too. “When we were thinking of the title of the movie,we brainstormed a lot. Then we thought of Chaalis Chauraasi,which came out from the number plate of the police van 4084. The van actually is the most important element of the movie. She is the centre of everyone’s attention,” explains director Hriday Shetty. Exploring a humour crime genre,Chaalis Chauraasi is like a rollercoaster ride in an amusement park,except that it takes place in a police van. The film is written by Yash-Vinay and the music in the film is by Lalit Pandit. The movie is slated to release on January 13.
