Mumbai: Bollywood star Kajol, who is set to play a cop in her new film ‘Do Patti’, called herself the ‘real Singham’ when she was asked who the boss at home was.
The actor is married to ‘Singham’ star and frequent collaborator Ajay Devgn, who is set to reprise the role of the fan favourite police officer in ‘Singham Again’.
“I have said this before and I had said this at every stage - ‘The real Singham’,” Kajol said, pointing the finger at her when she was asked who the ‘real Singham’ at home was. She also said that she hasn’t received any tips from Devgn about playing a cop.
“I’ve been working for so many years and whenever I am on the set and have put on clothes it feels like a uniform whether it is a salwar suit, saree or pants suit. It all feels uniform. But when you wear an actual uniform and go on set, I don’t know. I haven’t asked Ajay as yet what he feels like, but I definitely felt it gives you a certain sense of authority. There is a certain respect that you feel for yourself and for everybody else in uniform,” she added.
Also starring Kriti Sanon in a double role, ‘Do Patti’ is billed as a twisted tale about twin sisters, harbouring deep secrets and a determined police inspector seeking to uncover the truth in an attempted murder case. The film, directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi and written by Kanika Dhillon, will start streaming on ‘Netflix’ on October 25.
‘Do Patti’ also touches upon the theme of betrayal. Asked whether she had faced betrayal in real life, Kajol said yes but refused to reveal the details as ‘it’s too personal’.
“If I am alive, then definitely betrayal might happen with someone. Obviously, we can’t share anecdotes on this topic, but we can tell you that betrayal is something that everyone faces. Otherwise, you haven’t lived life at all or you’ve been a monk under a tree somewhere,” she added.
Kajol said that she is happy to see Kriti Sanon’s growth. “We didn’t share that much screen time in ‘Dilwale’. This time around, we have a lot of scenes together. To watch her growth from ‘Dilwale’ to today… It’s been quite amazing to watch her grow and come to this point and actually acquire a National Award along the way as well. So, it’s huge and kudos for that.”
