Actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra is set to appear as Sukhee in her next slice-of-life film. The trailer of the movie was launched in Mumbai with Shilpa entering the venue with Punjabi Dhol.
At the trailer launch Shilpa spoke how she wasn't in the right "mind frame" to do the movie, hinting at the time when her husband Raj Kundra was arrested for making pornographic content. "I decided that I won't do this film because I was not in the mind space. I even gave them a few names (of actors who the makers could approach). They said they wanted to wait for me," Shilpa recalled. She revealed how the makers waited for eight months for her to agree to do the movie.
The film's producer Vikram Malhotra then pitched in. "She pursued us to not make her do the film. That's something that never happens with actors," he added.
Shilpa then went on to add that her husband was the one who convinced her to do the movie. "The person who convinced me to do this film was my husband," she revealed. She added how when she was away from home, "he read the script". "I told him I am not ready for it. He told me are you crazy you've to do this film.
He convinced me. He said you must do this film. He forced me to do it. He said to me hum sab me ek Sukhee hai. Hum sabke dreams unfulfilled hai," she elaborated.
Sukhee is directed by Sonal Joshi and written by Joshi, Radhika Anand, Paulomi Dutta, and Rupinder Inderjit. The movie stars Shilpa Shetty in the titular role along with social media influencers Kusha Kapila, Amit Sadh, Chaitannya Choudhury, Dilnaz Irani, Pavleen Gujral, Kiran Kumar, and Vinod Nagpal in supporting characters.
