PVR MOVIE FIRST PAGE 18 Tisca Chopra GUEST INTERVIEW Actress, Good Newzz

Tisca Chopra, the multitalented actress who recently made waves with her own short film, Chutney, takes us behind the scenes of the upcoming comedy Good Newzz.

What attracted you to the script? It’s a Dharma Productions film, to begin with. Their reach is fantastic and their production values are top-notch. Then of course, the script itself. It contains a powerful and important social message, without being preachy. That’s what made me want to be a part of it.

Tell us about your role. Well, I have played a doctor in two consecutive productions now. In the thriller series Hostages, and now this. In Good Newzz, I’ll be seen as a fertility specialist—more specifically, an embryologist. It is my first ever comic role and I’ve enjoyed it to the hilt. There were times when we would stop the monitor and laugh till we had stitches in our sides. This was so fresh and new for me, since I have always played roles that required me to be somewhat understated.

How was the experience of working with a debutant director. Honestly, I did not feel for a moment that this was Raj Mehta’s debut film. In a sense it isn’t; he’s worked on a large body of films before this one. In fact, we shot one together long ago, which unfortunately did not see the light of day. Raj is an evolved soul, and this film is the perfect vehicle for his talents.

One scene you’d like us to watch out for. Undoubtedly the scene where the news of the mix-up is announced. It was beyond hilarious! We totally cracked up, and I have to say that was the mood and flavour of this film all through. You’ll go back feeling warm and fuzzy, just like we did during the making.
