|
|
After eleven years, Farooque Sheikh is coming back in the silver screen with Shona Urvashi`s Saas, Bahu Aur Sensex.
Sheikh last acted in the Madhuri Dixit-Akshaye Khanna starrer film `Mohabbat`. The film shows how the Sensex sends a middle-class family spiralling out of control. The movie highlights the process of investing wisely in the stock market and not taking it as a gamble.
While speaking about the film, Shona said, "The story starts when the stock market starts to boom. The film talks about a mother-daughter relationship. It`s about people hailing from middle class families and living in far-flung Mumbai surburbs. Kirron Kher plays the role of the mother who gets involved with the stock broker played by Farouque Shaikh."
Shona informs how she brought back Shaikh in the silver screen. She says, "He read the script and said yes. And with his approval, I was quite relieved. While writing the script I kept him in mind for the character of the stock broker."
Tanushree Dutta will play the role of the daughter who in a love triangle between Masumeh (her sister) and Ankur Khanna. The director adds, "There is a love triangle between Kirron, Farouque and the stock market."
When asked about his long vacation, Farooque said, "I wouldn`t call it a sabbatical. I was busy doing television shows and also theatre. In recent times I had hosted Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai on Zee TV. Once it was over I decided to take up this film."
He added, "But I am not keen on too many projects at a time. That`s partly because I am lazy and partly because I love working on my own schedules. I love to do one thing at a time. I hate the concept of a 9 - 5 job. I prefer lazing around and spending time with friends. I like to read a lot and travel around. That`s the way I like to live my life."
 While answering, why he accepted the film, Shaikh said, "The makers of `Chashme Buddoor` approached me with this project and Shona is a lady director whose enthusiasm is contagious and I didn`t feel like refusing them."
Speaking about his role in the film Shaikh reveals, "I play the role of a stock broker who is very competent and eccentric. Basically he is an irritating character who is very uncomfortable with women. There are several tracks of families in the film and is a comedy which can be watched with a family."
The film is slated to release on September 12. Only after the release of the film, it can be said Farooque has done after this long hibernation.
