Nidhi Dutta took her father, JP Dutta,
by surprise when she informed him
about her aspirations to act. It was
while she was still serving as the
seventh assistant during the making
of UMRAO JAAN , that she finally told
her father that she has been
dreaming of facing the camera for
many long years, just like her mother
Bindiya Goswami Dutta.
'At the age of two I was dancing to
‘Chaiya Chaiya’ in a diaper,' she says,
'I've been a drama queen all my life,
the lakta-jhatkas come easy,' Nidhi
says with pride.
Nidhi's debut film JEE BHAR KE JEE
LE, which is being produced by her
father under a new youth-centric
banner, JP Gene, is directed by Binoy
Gandhi. 'Papa took the muhurat shot
which had me speaking a line from
his film REFUGEE. And he was on the
sets every day. Once, during an
awkward romantic moment in front
of the camera, he nudged me aside
and stepped in as my proxy. Ajit
(Sodhi), who plays the lead in the
film (Nafisa Ali's son) was told to
caress my cheek, the poor guy just
froze,' she laughs.
When asked Nidhi about her co-star,
she says, 'One day I was talking
about the film to Ajit who I've known
since we were kids, and he showed
interest in it. He was signed by dad
for BORDER 2 and when that got
stalled, it was decided that he'd be
launched with this film,' reveals
Nidhi, who entered the picture by
offering to speak the girl's lines
during a script reading session. 'I
play a travel blogger in this film
which is all about friendship and
love.'
Nidhi had to lose 20 kilos before she
faced the camera, and she was
working out in the gym even after
she broke her leg, six days before
the film started. It is a road trip
through Mumbai, Goa, Hampi and
Romania. Nidhi says the shoot was
like a fairy tale even though the
second schedule started with her
passing out on the sets. 'I had high
fever,' she explains.
The film is gearing up for a 2015
release. She further adds, 'Papa
always tells me to do what I love and
this is something I love. In the 100
years of cinema, dada ji , Dad and
Mom together have been around for
62 years. It's great to take the legacy
forward.” When asked if she will be
exclusive to JP films only, the pretty
lass clarified, 'I'm open to films from
other banners too.'
