Bhumika Chawla who re-unites with `Tere Naam` co-star Salman Khan for today`s Eid release `Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan` opened up about what got her on board for the film, her big dreams as a newcomer in Mumbai and more.
How did you join the cast of `Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan?`
I got a call from Salman`s office when I was holidaying in the US and they told me they were making a family drama. I said I would hear the story after I return to the country and they requested `please do this for us` because we were getting together after so long. By the time I came back from the trip even I was looking forward to it because it had been so long since I worked with Salman. I heard the script from Farhad (Samji) sir and he briefed me about my role, I realised it had been a long time since I had done a big family entertainer. I did `Operation Romeo` last year and it had barely four characters with a very different script. I`ve been busy with Tamil and Telugu films, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) was my last Hindi release, which was again a real story. As an actor it excited me to be on homeground since I`ve worked with Salman, Venkatesh and Jagapathi Babu sir. That`s how I finally said yes to the film.
Do people still talk to you about `Tere Naam?`
I feel blessed when they do because when I came to Mumbai I would sit at Carter Road with my cousin and go for screentests from there. We didn`t have much money back then and lived a simple life, coming from an Army background. I would tell my cousin `That penthouse is mine` and she would ask why I don`t live there! I used to tell her I had given it to my staff and we would laugh. I still believed one day I would make it big in the city and people would turn around and say `there she goes.` That time no where in the horizon could I see it happening but it was just a gut feeling coupled with my hard work. Ultimately it happened and I only have gratitude. Films like `Tere Naam` or Gandhi, My Father and M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story were offered to me. Even today people call me Nirjara and ask `Radhe kidhar hai?`
