Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan to premiere on Zee Cinema; Ridhi Dogra reveals, “I said no first to playing his mother onscreen because I love Shah Rukh Khan so much”

Ridhi Dogra essayed the role of Azad aka Shah Rukh Khan’s foster mother in the action entertainer, directed by Atlee.

Jawan, which marked the debut of Nayanthara in Bollywood and garnered ample love from Shah Rukh Khan and Vijay Sethupathi fans, is all set for its world television premiere. The Pan India Atlee directorial, which released in theatres in September and later on Netflix, will be premiering on Zee Cinema during the upcoming Republic Day weekend, on January 28. In an interaction, Ridhi Dogra, who essayed the role of Kaveri Amma, the foster mother of younger SRK, Azad in the upcoming actioner, revealed about her experience of working with such big names and also mentioned about how she prepped her character.

In an interview, Ridhi Dogra opened up about her experience of sharing screen space with the cast which included Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Deepika Padukone who featured in a special role in the movie. “I'll be honest, I was very nervous about playing SRK's mother on screen. I said no first to playing a mother onscreen because I love Shah Rukh Khan so much and was in two minds about this. I mean 'it's SRK,” revealed Ridhi. She also went on to add how the actor paid her, her biggest compliment by expressing his desire to reunite with her on screen. “I think my biggest compliment would be from Shah Rukh Khan himself. I don't think I need any more responses after he said that he would like to work with me again. And for me, that is fantastic.”

Further talking about working with the leading ladies, Ridhi couldn’t stop gushing about their sincerity and hard work. “Nayanthara is very focused when it comes to work, she is very real. Her family plays a very significant role in her life but she manages her professional life equally well. It was a great experience with everyone,” shared the Jawan actress. She also praised Deepika Padukone adding, “Deepika is a beautiful human being and very generous and very friendly. She made me feel very comfortable in spite of being such a big actress. I remember her sitting with all of us and having conversation, everyone got rid of any intimidation they had.”

In the same breath, Ridhi also opened up about the prep she had to undergo to essay her character since she donned an avatar much older to her real age. “Everyone wants to look beautiful in the quintessential way; starlet, fashionista, but I am also an actor. The only thing I saw in it was that it was challenging for me. That's the only thing that pushed me to do it.” She concluded, “On-set, it would take me close to 2 hours to get into costume and hair and make-up, but that wasn't stressful at all.”
