Parineeti Chopra opens up on teaming with Sooraj Barjatya for ‘Uunchai’

For 'Uunchai,' Parineeti Chopra is collaborating with Sooraj Barjatya. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta, Danny Denzongpa and Sarika. In a recent interview, Chopra discussed the film and her collaboration with Sooraj. 

Working with Sooraj sir, the actress told Midday, was a dream come true for any actor, including her.She called him the 'maestro of family entertainers'. The actress also revealed that her parents were thrilled when she told them that Sooraj sir has cast her in Uunchai.

In a recent interview with BT, the actress discussed her interest in producing films. 

I do want to produce, and I want to do that because I feel that many times there is a struggle for actresses to get the kind of budgets, stories or casting that they sometimes need for their project. Of course, that is understandable because right now, the kind of collections that these sorts of projects garner demand that they have to be made at a certain budget. I have wanted to create a name for myself as someone who can sell a film on my own name. The process has started with films like Saina, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and The Girl On The Train, and that is the extension that I want to take into production. I think this year, I will definitely be thinking about it because I want to back content that is a little more out there and the kind of stuff that is not being made right now.

On the work front, she also has 'Animal,' in which she co-stars with Ranbir Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. She recently made her television debut in a reality show co-hosted by Karan Johar and Mithun Chakraborty.
