Vishakha Singh is in a rather upbeat mood. The actor has begun this year with a hit Tamil film, Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya, and has had two Hindi releases ( Fukrey and Ankur Arora Murder Case ) that have given her a good share of the spotlight. “I think it is a happy moment for me. I have received positive feedback for all my films. I have signed another film with the Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya team and there is a Malayalam and a Telugu film on the anvil. At the same time, I am working on some interesting Hindi films too,” says Vishakha, whose latest Hindi film to hit the screens (released this Friday) is Shashant Shah’s Bajatey Raho .
Terming Bajatey Raho as a breather for her, Vishakha says, “ Ankur Arora … was a very emotional film and in Fukrey , my character was a serious one. But Manpreet Kaur of Bajatey Raho let me be the way I am. She is strong, loud and street smart — she is a Sikhni from purani Dilli.” The actor who is from UP but never lived there says director Shashant had apprehensions about whether she would be able to pull off the role of a loud Punjaban, and she retorted, “If I can manage Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, Hindi is my mother tongue!” The film is about a few common people who mobilise their strength to take revenge on a conman who has thrown their lives off the track.
