Juhi Chawla photographed on the sets of Chalk N Duster
Mumbai:
Juhi Chawla, Shabana Azmi, Girish Karnad, Upasana Singh and the entire team of
Chalk N Duster including cinematographer Baba Azmi celebrated
Iftaar party on sets of the movie.
The team had gathered to shoot an important scene of the film, where Shabana Azmi was seen engaged in worshipping Lord
Ganesh with the assembled crowd.
The presence of the
Midnight's Children actress and her brother Baba, who is also the director of photography for the film, triggered the idea of the
Iftaar party on the set.
"The
Iftaar party is not a part of the script. Today we had a scene of
Ganesh Puja and since
Ramazan is going on and it's time of
Iftaar, our producers thought of a small
Iftaar party," Juhi Chawla said.
"On the same set we are doing
Ganesh Puja and respecting the month of Ramazan. This is possible only in our country and hence I am very proud and lucky to be born in this beautiful country. This all is very beautiful where Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isai all work together, live together and this brotherhood is really very good," she added.
In the film Shabana Azmi is playing a teacher named Vidhya Sawant who is a great devotee of Lord Ganesha.
Chalk N Duster is directed by renowned Bollywood make-up artist Subhash Singh, the storyline of which revolves around the business of education.
