Actress Parineeti Chopra is a self-confessed foodie. And now the actress says that during the filming of her upcoming film ‘Daawat-E-Ishq’ she and co-star Aditya Roy Kapur bonded over their love for food!
“I am a foodie of another level. After working with Adi in this film I realised that it is only him who can compete with me when it comes to eating. Both of us love food and we would devour plates in minutes. In this film I got to eat so much and I think this film is tailor-made for me,” Parineeti said during the music launch of the movie.
This is the second time Parineeti is working with filmmaker Habib Faisal after ‘Ishaqzaade’. ‘Daawat-E-Ishq’ is a love story between a Hyderabadi girl named Gulrez and Tariq, a Lucknawi cook who can charm anyone with his biryani and kebabs. The film has been mostly shot in Lucknow, and also in Hyderabad and Mumbai.
Talking about the film, the 25-year-old actress even said that both Aditya and herself are at their fattest best in the film, thanks to their binging on local delicacies in Lucknow! “I think we are at our fattest best in this film. Me, Aditya and Anupam Kher used to have meals together all the time. Anupam Sir has lived in Lucknow for some time and he knew many eateries and we would order from there,” she said.
Parineeti plays a Muslim girl in this upcoming film. Talking about her role she said, “I think as an actor you always want something different every time. I hope that I am offered something interesting. Though I have played a Muslim girl before in a film directed by Habib Sir this film is different. It is not a repetition. My body language is different, my styling is different. I speak in a Dakhini accent which I don’t think any actress has done before.”
Meanwhile, it’s noted that impromptu singing by actors to promote their films has become a trend in Bollywood. After Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, ‘Daawat-E-Ishq’ lead actors Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra did the same at the launch of the title song of their film and they even sang the foot-tapping number for the media.
Produced by YRF Films, ‘Daawat-E-Ishq’ is set to release on September 5.
