Nushrratt Bharuccha on her horror film Chhori: I have to scare the viewers, make them emotional and laugh too

Nushrratt Bharuccha was last seen on the big screen in 2019 release Dream Girl. Though she didn’t play the titular role in the movie, the actress impressed one and all with her performance.

During this lockdown period, it was announced that Nushrratt will be seen in a horror film titled Chhori. The movie is a remake of Marathi film Lapachhapi and will be directed by Vishal Furia who had also helmed the original movie.


Recently, while about the film, the actress told a tabloid, “I haven’t ever done a role where I’m responsible for every emotion in the film. I have to scare the viewers, make them emotional, and laugh too. The film revolves around this one person stuck in a situation. But I’m excited to be the makers’ first choice.”

Nushrratt will be gaining weight for the film to look like a pregnant girl. “Soon, Vishal will give me the first draft of the script, and then we will be able to crack it,” she added.

Well, apart from Chhori, Nushrratt has films like Chhalaang and Hurdang. Reportedly, the makers of both the films were planning a direct-to-digital release for their respective movies. However, there’s no official announcement about it.

With CVOID-19 cases rising day-by-day, Nushrratt is not keen on starting the work soon. She is not even ready for a photo shoot. The actress said, “You have to touch everything around because you can’t do one with gloves on and I can’t see myself doing that.”
