Zoya to make her Telugu debut
Actor Zoya Afroz, who was last seen in the film Sweetiee Weds NRI, is all set to venture into Telugu cinema, and she’s superexcited. Zoya will be seen playing a double role in the film, which is loosely based on Sridevi’s 1989 film ChaalBaaz, which also featured actors Sanjeev Kumar and Dharmendra.
The actor says, “I’m very excited, but at the same time, I’m nervous for this role, as my character is based on Sridevi ma’am’s character. I have admired her since I was a child, and playing a character similar to her is going to be challenging. I’m really looking forward to this film and hope to show it to her (Sridevi) also.” Zoya was seen as a child actor in films such as Hum Saath - Saath Hai (1999) and Kuch Naa Kaho (2003). She was also part of the film, The Xpose (2014).
To step into the shoes of the character for her new film, Zoya is working on her body language and even putting in effort to make her appearance similar to that of Sridevi’s.
“I have seen ChaalBaaz and I am watching more of her (Sridevi’s) films to understand her screen presence and how she delivers her dialogues. It is exciting for me to play a similar character and I want to do justice to this film and my part,” says Zoya.
I’m very excited, but at the same time, I’m nervous for this role, as my character is based on Sridevi ma’am’s character. ZOYA AFROZ, ACTOR
