NOW, PARINEETI JOINS THE CIRCUS
By Sanyukta Iyer, Mumbai Mirror| Aug 12, 2016, 12.20 AM IST
The actress will play a trapeze artiste in her next film, a musical drama; Suniel Shetty will play her father.
After her last cinematic outing sank without a trace in 2014, Parineeti Chopra decided to go on a break even as rumour mills continued to hint at her signing several films, including Salman Khan's latest Eid-release, a South film opposite Mahesh Babu, the much-talked about Dabangg 3, and, most recently, a sequel to Chameli Ki Shaadi in which she reportedly romances Udta Punjab debutant Diljit Dosanjh.
The 27-year-old actress who used the sabbatical to acquire a leaner, toned avatar was recently seen in the song "Jaaneman Aah" for Rohit Dhawan's Dishoom.
Now, Mirror has learnt that the actress has given her nod for a female-centric role in Circus. The musical-drama marks the directorial debut of choreographer Bosco Martis, one-half of the Bosco-Ceasar duo that has worked on films like Bang Bang, Shandaar, Tamasha, Dil Dhadakne Do and Queen. "Scripting for Circus began a year ago. It portrays a strong father-daughter relationship spanning a decade and will have Suniel Shetty playing Pari's dad. A child artiste will be cast to play the younger Pari," reveals a source. Both Suniel and Parineeti will have to look their fittest for the parts.
Parineeti is presently touring the US on the Dream Team concert tour and returns to the bay in September. "The trapeze sequences are strenuous. She will be training with gymnasts and acrobats and work on her stance and balance. The film will have extensive action and dance sequences with fire and water acts. There will be workshops with Pari and Suniel. The film rolls in December," adds the source.
Bosco, when contacted, revealed to Mirror that he had been planning to foray into direction for the last four years but refused to divulge further details. "There is nothing to say right now. We are still in the initial stages of production and casting. I have been in talks with the actors but Parineeti is yet to sign on the dotted line," Bosco signed off.
