For an actress who heralded the romcom genre in Punjabi films with 'Jatt & Juliet', Neeru Bajwa says every film she would pursue now need not fall into the same genre. Clarifying that the upcoming 'Pinky Moge Wali' is not 'yet another romcom', Neeru says the film is a, "Masala, more than a romantic comedy alone."
Though the tenor of the film is light, Neeru says Pinky is not another Juliet. "It has all ingredients of a typical entertainer, but it doesn't go the same way as Jatt & Juliet," she adds. Loaded with three item numbers, the first for a Punjabi script, Pinky , directed by Vikram Dhillon, gives Neeru more reason to rejoice as she gets to dance as an item in Punjabi cinema too.
Yet, the film does more than just illicit a few laughs. "It also touches upon the story of a girl who is neglected by her father in its undertone but this serious issue is fitted well within the entertaining framework of the script so that it doesn't become heavy," she says about the film where she is cast opposite Gavie Chahal.
While one would assume this Juliet has her hands full with films after the overwhelming response to J&J, Neeru is sauntering at leisure. "No, I am not doing five films at a time. I prefer doing one. And soon after the release of Pinky, I am getting into the production of Jatt & Juliet 2 and will be off to Canada for the shooting," she says. This sequel will cast the same set of actors, where Neeru is paired with Diljit Dosanjh. "You can't think of J&J without Diljit now, can you?" she smiles.
