One year of Chhorii: Nushrratt Bharuccha promises to “level up and give 200% to the sequel”

Talking about the commencement of Chhorri 2, she says "It's really uncanny how Chhorii released last year on the same date and we started the shoot of the sequel for the same today. 'Chhorii' is a film which has given me so much, I can't thank the universe enough. And also my power packed team of Vishal sir, my co-stars and the crew on set who always made me push the envelope harder. In this past one year, we have received so much love for the film, which has kept us going and made us want to level up and give our 200% to the sequel”.

She further adds, "For me, 'Sakshi' was an extremely challenging and tough character to crack. It was one of my toughest characters so far, as not only I was playing a pregnant woman in a world of horrors like this, but also someone who has to fight for her and her child's survival, whilst dealing with the social practice of female foeticide on screen, which is still prevalent in some parts of our country. It was a big responsibility, and I had to give full justice to it."

The actress also added “The film taught me how to completely surrender myself to a character. We had shot in sugarcane farms in remote areas around Bhopal in the chilling weather of December, and after 26 days of uninterrupted shooting, I had forgotten who Nushrratt was. Can't wait to experience that thrill again with Chhorii 2!"

Recently, her film Ram Setu next to Akshay Kumar was released. Meanwhile, on the work front, she has an interesting lineup of films like Chhorii 2, the sequel of her critically acclaimed film, Selfiee alongside Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi. She also has Akelli in the pipeline, which is another solo lead film by the actress.
