Ad-man turned filmmaker, Bharat Dabholkar is all set to bring his next film to the audiences. Actress Rupali Suri who starred in his play Bottoms Up will be part of this upcoming movie too. On reuniting with the talented actress he said, “Bottoms Up was a huge success. It brought out the talents of the likes of Shiamak Davar, Javed Jaffrey, Arshad Warsi and Shahid Kapoor as well. The format was such that we had different skits, songs and dances with each actor not even getting time between each character and costume transformation. Like when Rupali came in as a security guard, exited and returned as Sonia Gandhi, her acting skills were best put to test.”

 

Bharat further added, “A dance sequence followed and in came Rupali as a Gujarati housewife, putting her performing skills to the test once again.” The filmmaker heaped praises for the actress and said, “I knew then that I needed a committed actor like Rupali. She has a dominating screen presence. When you are a character actor, you can blend into anything, but when you have a strong persona and are a lead, you have to work much harder to change characters in a matter of microseconds. It requires a lot of commitment besides acting skills. And that is what makes Rupali stand apart from the rest.”
