Parineeti Chopra, who recently tasted success with Akshay Kumar starrer 'Kesari', has an interesting lineup of films in her kitty. The actress has finished shooting for 'Jabariya Jodi', where she reunites with 'Hasee Toh Phasee' co-star Sidharth Malhotra. She will also be seen in the official biopic on badminton icon Saina Nehwal and then she followed it up by signing the official remake of Hollywood’s hit thriller 'The Girl on the Train'. Pari will be stepping into the shoes of the film's protagonist essayed by Emily Blunt originally.
While the 2016 English film was principally shot in New York City, we have confirmed reports that Parineeti will be heading to England to shoot the remake start to finish in mid-July. It will be straight two months of intense shooting and Pari begins prepping for this diabolical thriller from mid-June.
When enquired, Parineeti confirms saying, “I am super excited to be shooting this film because this is a role that I have never experienced before, read before and I think the audience has never experienced this kind of acting piece from me. It’s a complete contrast to the kind of personality that is associated with me, so I am excited as an actor to do something completely new.”
Based on the 2015 bestseller by Paula Hawkins, the film narrates the story of a divorced woman who gets entangled in a shocking missing person’s investigation that throws her life to the brink.
Pari understands that since people have already seen Emily Blunt’s performance, she has to bring something refreshingly new to the screen. “I am going to be working really hard on my role. So, I’m really excited to look at some footage of the original film, to look at references to play this character because I have never played this character before,” she says.
