BOLLYWOOD actress Kajol, who plays a police officer in her upcoming film “Do Patti,” referred to herself as the “real Singham” when asked about her role at home.
Kajol is married to Ajay Devgn, known for his portrayal of the titular character in the “Singham” franchise, who will reprise his role in “Singham Again.”
“I have said this before and I have said this at every stage, ‘The real Singham,’” she stated, pointing at herself.
In “Do Patti,” Kajol does not seek guidance from Devgn for her cop character. She explained, “I have been working for so many years, and whenever I am on the set and have put on clothes, it feels like a uniform whether it is salwar suit, saree, or pants suit. It all feels uniform.”
She noted that wearing an actual police uniform brings a different sense of authority, adding, “I don’t know. I have not asked Ajay as yet what he feels like, but I definitely felt it gives you a certain sense of authority.”
The film, featuring Kriti Sanon in a double role, is described as a complex narrative involving twin sisters with hidden secrets and a determined police inspector unravelling an attempted murder case.
Directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi and written by Kanika Dhillon, “Do Patti” will be available on Netflix starting October 25. The movie also explores themes of betrayal.
When asked about personal experiences of betrayal, Kajol acknowledged it but opted not to share specifics, citing the subject as “too personal.”
“If I am alive then definitely betrayal might happen with someone… Obviously, we cannot share anecdotes on this topic, but we can tell you that betrayal is something which everyone faces… Otherwise you haven’t lived life at all or you’ve been a monk under a tree somewhere,” she remarked.
Kajol-Sanon equation
This film marks the second collaboration between Kajol and Sanon, who last appeared together in Rohit Shetty’s “Dilwale” in 2015.
Kajol expressed her admiration for Sanon’s growth as an actress, stating, “To watch her growth from ‘Dilwale’ to today. It’s been quite amazing to watch her grow and come to this point and actually acquire a National Award along the way as well.”
Sanon shared her excitement about working alongside Kajol, calling her a remarkable performer. “I was really excited because I was finally getting to do really meaty scenes with the performer that Kajol ma’am is. She’s a senior, a great performer. I can talk to her as a co-actor, and we can make the scene work beautifully. I feel her eyes are magical,” she said.
“Do Patti” is produced by Sanon and Dhillon through their respective companies, Blue Butterfly Films and Kathha Pictures.
Sanon reflected on her production debut, stating, “It was a beautiful journey. I always felt the hunger to be creatively involved other than being just an actor, especially when there are some stories that touch your heart.”
She also acknowledged the challenges of producing a film, expressing gratitude for her team’s support.
The film also introduces TV star Shaheer Sheikh in his debut role, alongside Tanvi Azmi and Brijendra Kala.
