Neha Sharma Is A Fabulous Actor, I Think She's Been Underutilised: ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’ Director Kushan Nandy
Director Kushan Nandy speaks up about he picked up Neha Sharma for his new film ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’. Also, he opens up on how she helped him get a hospital bed when he was infected with Covid-19 amidst the shooting of the film.
He says, “I had seen a music video of Neha, and I thought she was goofy, funky and I could see a lot of peppiness in her. I called her over and then I found her to be a very intelligent person. While shooting for ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’, I realised she is a fabulous actor. I think she's been underutilised. She has this penchant for surprising you. I am sure that in the coming years, she is going to become something big. I definitely think ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’ is one of her best performances.”
Very few people are aware that while shooting for ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’, Kushan Nandy was also infected with Covid-19 and was also hospitalised. It was during the second wave in the country and Mumbai was badly affected.
Talking about that Kushan Nandy says, “Shooting of ‘Jogira Sara Ra Ra’ was difficult, it was tough to travel to different places at a time when the world was battling Covid-19. There was so much depression around us, so much panic around us. But, when we landed on the sets, all of us were enjoying what we were doing there. We were laughing at the dialogues. We were trying to create sequence scenes which would make people laugh. I was also down with Covid-19 and it was mayhem in Mumbai. I was not able to find a bed in the hospital in Mumbai. It was Neha who helped and made it sure that I get a bed in the hospital. I will be always grateful to her for this.”
