To start shooting for ‘Tumhari Sulu’ immediately after her next release
T-Series
and Ellipsis Entertainment’s comedy, ‘Tumhari Sulu’, will go into shooting
within a fortnight of the release of her next film on April 14.
This means
that power-house performer Vidya Balan will not take a break following the
release and will dive straight into a second round of look tests, script
readings and diction coaching for ‘Tumhari Sulu’, being directed by noted
ad-man Suresh Triveni.
Applauded for
every role that she enhances with utmost perfection, Balan is known for her
impeccable real-life comic timing. She will be seen in a completely different
comic avatar after a long time.
As the
character of Sulu (Sulochana), a simple, happy-go-lucky house-wife, stumbles
upon a job of a night RJ (radio jockey), music is a crucial element of the
film. Vidya's fortnight-long prep will thereforeconsist of
choreography rehearsals as well.
The soundtrack will comprise four diverse multi-genre songs scored by
different composers. While the
dance number will be a full-blown Bollywood-style dhamaka, the romantic number will be
pleasant, candid and spontaneous. The street hip-hop number and the soulful
mood number will have their own distinctive moves. As each song genre is
different from the other, the choreography will be unique, with several
renowned choreographers being roped in for the respective genres.
Says
Vidya, "I've begun to enjoy dancing..it's fun. Tumhari Sulu has a great array of songs and I'm looking forward to the
rehearsals."
Director
Suresh Triveni adds, "Music, and therefore choreography, are integral to
the film. They take the story forward. We are working hard on devising unique,
candid styles for the tracks. The team is putting together reference video
edits for each song and we are working with our production designer, cameraman
and choreographers on everything from the color palette of the songs to how
they will be shot to the moves."
‘Tumhari
Sulu’ is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Tanuj Garg, Atul Kasbekar
and Shanti Sivaram Maini. It releases on December 1.
