Neena Gupta roped in to play Akshay Kumar’s mother in Sooryavanshi

Neena Gupta has been in the industry for more than three decades, but she got the recognition she deserved with last year’s release Badhaai Ho where she played the role of an elderly woman who gets pregnant. The veteran actress received many awards for her performance in the film and now, she has been roped in to star in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi.

Neena Gupta will be seen playing the role of Akshay Kumar’s mother in the film. While talking about her character, she told a tabloid, “This is an interesting role because it isn’t the stereotypical mother who asks his son about food, marriage, etc., but has several dimensions. There is a new temperament to the mother, and you will get to see a very different dynamic between Akshay, Katrina and me. This is a new, sweet and interesting space that I am looking to explore.”


“I am happy that more people will get to see my work. Rohit has made some amazing films which have been appreciated by the audience,” she added.

Sooryavanshi also stars Katrina Kaif in the lead role and now, with Neena Gupta joining the cast we are more excited about the film. The shooting of the movie starts today and it is slated to release on Eid next year.
