Shalini Pandey, who is making her Bollywood big screen debut with 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar', feels fortunate that she got an opportunity to work opposite superstar Ranveer Singh - an acting powerhouse.
Shalini, who shot to fame with her debut film 'Arjun Reddy', posted on social media saying, “It’s not everyday that you get a film like #JayeshbhaiJordaar as your big screen debut in Bollywood. It’s not everyday that you get Ranveer Singh, a superstar and a super actor, as your co-star! So, I consider my hugely fortunate that I have got this project from @yrf as a launchpad! I’m still pinching myself!!!”
She adds, “Working in a film like #JayeshbhaiJordaar is like being in an acting masterclass with Ranveer Singh! He is a giant of an actor and just being in his orbit, I have become a better performer. It was like enrolling into an acting school (and the best one at that). No wonder I call him guruji!”
Shalini further adds, “Gradually, we became a family on the set. Speaking of which, I can’t wait for y’all to witness the magic of Siddhi (Jiyaa Vaidya) - our onscreen daughter. Siddhi and I were like two peas in a pod, always together on set. I would hear all her stories - about her day at school, her friends, etc. We would also team up and pull Ranveer’s leg.”
She continues, “I love this picture because it describes our bond, a natural connection that we formed during the making of this movie. We were really happy in our own cocoon, in our self-made little world, having a firecracker of a time. Hopefully our family will entertain yours thoroughly this Friday, at a theatre near you!”
'Jayeshbhai Jordaar', a complete family entertainer, releases worldwide this Friday.
