New Delhi:
Matru (Imran Khan) and his Bijlee (Anushka Sharma) along with Mandola (Pankaj Kapur) but sans their pink buffalo brought in a wave of warmth to chilly Delhi. A year since his last release Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu opposite Kareena Kapoor, the rather urbane Imran Khan has unleashed his rustic side as Matru. "I think there was a Matru in me waiting to come out. I thought I was absolutely wrong for this role and even told Vishal Bhardwaj that it was a casting mishap. But Vishal said that casting an actor who is perfect for the role is no challenge but casting a misfit for the role is the challenge, so here I am," said Imran Khan.
His co-star Anushka Sharma, dressed in ultra-skinny pants and a black three-quarter jacket said, "Bijlee was, by far, Vishal's most complex character. I walked into the role thinking what fun it will be till I realised the numerous layers Bijlee had." The uber chic Anushka as Bijlee also suffers from a Meena Kumari complex. The actress said, laughing, that her character loves misery despite being happy.
For the two young stars, it was sharing screen space with Pankaj Kapur which was an honour, especially for Anushka , who was born 6 years after the actor started his career in films. Pankaj Kapur, who plays Mandola, a person who loves his drink, said that the role was tough for a teetotaler like him.
The actors denied rumours that they were being cast together in the sequel to 2011 movie Tanu Weds Manu. Recently having won the Zee award for best supporting actress for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, destiny's child Anushka said, "I am waiting to sink my claws into my two next films Peekay with Aamir and Bombay Velvet with Ranbir." This is one Bijlee who is all set for a blitzkrieg.
