July Rakhi Sawant seems to have opted for an image change. In Rahul Rawail’s ensemble comedy Buddha Mar Gaya , she has been cast in a role that requires no oomph, only chutzpah.
“I was hunting for a girl to play this zany, liberated, frank and fearless girl called Kim in my comedy. No one seemed to fit the bill… until I saw Rakhi on reality show Bigg Boss . I loved her spirit and honesty in the show. I immediately decided to cast her,” Rawail said.
Rakhi, who will join the ensemble cast comprising Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher (who plays a corpse) and Mobhano Modi-Kotwal, had no inhibitions about doing the film.
“Rakhi has no item songs and no striptease element in Buddha Mar Gaya . I’m glad I found her to play the role. I can’t think of anyone better,” said Rawail.
