Jannat 2 Fame Esha Gupta goes de-glam for Prakash Jha’s next
After her hot and sizzling debut in Jannat 2, model-turned-actress Esha Gupta will have a de-glamourous role in Prakash Jha’s forthcoming political thriller film, Chakravyuh.
In her debut film, Esha, who played a glamourous role and was Emraan Hashmi’s love-interest in Jannat 2 will be seen in a de-glam role in the film as she plays a cop.
Filmed in Bhopal, Chakravyuh is set against the backdrop of the Naxal movement.
“It is a de-glam role. I am playing an IPS officer. You will see me in the uniform, it is a different role. When you see the film, you will get to know more about the role. I can’t talk much about it,” Esha said.
The model-turned-actress admits she signed the film without even listening to the story.
“Prakash (director-producer) sir had heard about me and his casting director called me up saying he liked me in the promos and wants to work with me. I met him and he was really impressed that I knew Hindi. I was confident about what I was doing, so I just told him, sir if you direct me well, I will give you what you want, I am ready to mould myself in any form you want,” Esha said.
“We did the reading and he was impressed by my Hindi, as I come from Uttar Pradesh background. I still don’t know the whole script, but I heard Prakash sir’s name and jumped on to do it,” she said.
Directed and produced by Jha, Chakravyuh stars Abhay Deol, Arjun Rampal, Om Puri and Kabir Bedi in pivotal roles, besides Esha Gupta. The film is scheduled to release in November this year.
