Exclusive: Nushrratt Bharuccha to play THIS taboo-breaking role in Janhit Mein Jaari! Deets inside

In an interview with Bombay Times, Nushrratt Bharuccha had said that she was getting typecast in Bollywood, but lately, she has managed to break away from the glamorous image that was associated with her. The Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety actress had said, “When a story or character appeals to me, the actor in me doesn’t put it into a bucket of commercial or non-commercial. It’s the greed of portraying a challenging character that attracts me to a film.” And luckily, she seems to have found the challenge in writer, producer Raaj Shaandilyaa’s next titled, Janhit Mein Jaari.
In this comedy venture, Nushrratt will be seen playing the role of a condom sales executive. Shedding more light on the role, the filmmaker says, “Nushrratt’s character hails from a small town. She is a well-educated and progressive woman. She’s looking for a job and finds one where she’s placed as a sales and promotions executive at a condom manufacturing company.”

Filmmaker Raaj Shaandilyaa says, “In the film, Nushrratt hops between selling condoms at medical stores and also runs promotions in different areas of the locality. The film also focuses on the repercussions she faces in her personal life due to her profession, which is rare for a woman.”
This is the second time the filmmaker is collaborating with the actress. He had earlier directed Dream Girl, which featured her along with Ayushmann Khurrana. He shares, “I had discussed the story with Nushrratt when we were shooting for Dream Girl in Mathura. After learning about the bold character, she got really excited. Toh Nushrratt se mujhe yeh character karwana hi tha, because most filmmakers wouldn’t imagine her doing a part like this on screen.” The film also stars Amyra Dastur and Ravi Kishan in interesting roles.
While the film was set to go on the floor on April 25, it was pushed due to the pandemic. Now, if the situation improves, the project might take off around August. Raaj Shaandilyaa says, “We are planning to shoot in Chanderi and Bhopal. For her part, Nushrratt will also learn the nuances of the local language.”
