Sonakshi Sinha has tremendous range: 'Noor' director
Mumbai
Mar 30, 2017
British-Indian filmmaker Sunhil Sippy, who is all geared up
for the release of his film 'Noor' starring Sonakshi Sinha , feels that the
actress has got a tremendous range.
'I like the fact that Sonakshi Sinha has tremendous range.
She is funny, quirky, and silly but she is also very intense and serious. In
Noor, I got the opportunity to explore every part of her as an actor' Sunhil
said during an interview.
'Noor' is based on Saba Imtiaz novel 'Karachi,
You're Killing Me!', and tells the tale of a journalist-writer Noor's misadventures
and love life as she navigates her way through Mumbai.
'Sonakshi Sinha was our first choice. I didn't know if
it was right at the very beginning but when I started and once I got to end,
it became evident she was perfect for the role,' added the director.
Though the movie is women centric, Sunhil says all the characters
in the film are three dimensional, which means every character's behaviour reveals
things about main lead.
'It is definitely a women centric film and it is really
about 'Noor' and her coming of age but every character in the film is three
dimensional.
'So the behaviour of every opposing character will be
revealing things about main lead. 'Noor' is in constant conflict and other characters
are balancing, so she is not overshadowing anybody in the film,' explained
the maker about his main lead and other characters.
'Noor is defined by the world she exists in. She is defined
by interaction with others, so all the characters had to be equally rich as
her' Sunhil added further.
Apart from making a woman-centric film, Sunhil Sippy talks
about empowering women off-screen too.
'All the department heads in Noor are women, be it cinematography,
art, co-producer, screenplay, dialogue, line producer, all women. It is beautiful
sign of our times. There can never be enough said or done for women. The amount
of oppression, conflicts and difficulties women has faced over decades and centuries
is Huge. If everything goes in favour of women, for god knows how many years,
it is still fine' expressed the 'Snip!' director.
The movie features Sonakshi Sinha as Noor, along with Kanan
Gill, Shibani Dandekar and Purab Kohli in pivotal roles.
