What do you think about the music of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom?
The music of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is outstanding. After a long time I have done a film where in every song is my favourite. There isn't one song that I can't say is my favourite. Right from the title track to any track all are very well done.
What do you think about Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Shankar Ehsaan Loy are my lucky music directors. They did the music for Dil Chahta hai, KANK, Kal Ho Na Ho. These are all films of mine in which the music has been outstanding and it's really done well. It's gone down well with the audiences and I think they have upped their quotient with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom because they are so good in this movie. The variety they have is so outstanding. I think that's why they are three of them because each one contributes so much to the film and that gives us a whole picture.
Tell us something about your character in the film
I play Alvira Khan, who is from Lahore. Even though she's from Lahore she refuses to accept the fact that she is a Pakistani living in London. She's actually British and more British than the queen herself and that's the fun part. There's a lot of layering to her. She's actually a very endearing sweet girl but she's not this typical heroine with the salt on her nose. But she has this attitude and this image about herself. She is so into that image about herself that everything else dilutes the equation. She's a lot of fun and quite mad. I think its one of my most mad and totally energetic and crazy characters that I have played till now.
What was it about the script that made you decide to do this film?
I think the madness in the script. It's the only film when the script was narrated to me and I didn't have any point to pick and say that is a problem. It's very fast, it moves. Well it's really funny and it's got great humour. It's got great back story, each character has a layer. More than anything else when you watch it and come outside you have this whole feeling like phew!! And that's it!
