Parineeti Chopra: My parents were thrilled when I told them Sooraj Sir has cast me in Uunchai

2022 is going to be an exciting year for Parineeti Chopra. On one hand, she is set to make her television debut with Colors’ upcoming talent-based reality show Hunarbaaz: Desh Ki Shaan; on the other hand, she will be working with two of the most-sought-after filmmakers of Indian cinema - Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Sooraj Barjatya.

In Vanga’s psychological thriller Animal, Chopra pairs up with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time. The film also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in important roles. Barjatya’s Uunchai, on the other hand, gives her an opportunity to share the screen with the iconic Amitabh Bachchan and the stalwarts of acting Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, and Boman Irani.

Excited Chopra tells a publication, “The fact that I am now working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Sooraj Barjatya Sir in the same calendar year is incredible.”

The actress adds, “Working with Sooraj Sir has always been a dream for any actor, including me. He is the maestro of family entertainers and I know that my parents were thrilled when I told them that Sooraj Sir has cast me in Uunchai.”

When asked about being directed by Barjatya, known for helming such all-time blockbusters as Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994), Hum Saath - Saath Hain (1998), and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), she says, “I cannot believe that Sooraj Sir, who has worked with the best of the best and created milestones in Indian cinema, has chosen me to be a part of his cinematic vision. Sooraj Sir is an even better person than I had imagined. Simply by being himself, he is a masterclass in humility. I am beyond blessed to be directed by him. Being his heroine is another blessing that 2021 gave me.”
