'I couldn't recognise myself in the wig and bindi'
We've seen how actors love to experiment. As if to make sure he's not left behind, Shreyas Talpade took off his jeans and put on a sari for his new film, Paying Guest. Also starring Celina Jaitley, Javed Jaferri, Aashish Chowdhary, Vatsal Seth, Riya Sen, Neha Dhupia, Sayali Bhagat, Johnny Lever and Delnaz Paul, the film is expected to be a laugh riot. Directed by Paritosh Painter, Paying Guest will hit the theatres as soon as the strike is called off.
Shreyas spoke to Patcy N and talked about how difficult it is to play a woman.
Tell us about Paying Guest.
It's a fun film -- an over-the-top slapstick comedy about four friends who are thrown out from their houses and jobs. In the process of finding a house, they have to do many things -- including becoming a woman and telling lies.
I play a cook. I've played a cook before in Bombay to Bangkok. I'm employed by Johnny Lever, an absent-minded person. He throws me out of the job after a tiff and after that, I pretend to be a woman and stay in his house as a paying guest. So when people ask me who I am paired opposite, I say I'm paired opposite Celina and Aashish Choudhary!
