Playing the quintessential effervescent Delhi girl in her upcom ing film Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend wasn't tough for actress Ira Dubey, who has spent a good share of her academic life in the Capital. She says, “My character Nimmi is pliant yet gutsy. I tried to make her as relatable as I could. She knows how to stand up for herself when wronged. The best part about the experience was associating with talented actors like Divyendu (Sharma), Pradhuman Singh and the inimitable Jackie Da (Jackie Shroff). Our director Japinder Kaur made sure that each character is fresh and the narrative has a contemporary Delhi setting. “Japinder adds about Ira, “We needed somebody who looked intelligent and I felt she has the aura of a strong woman. Her beauty is just a bonus.“

The film that is produced by Manjeet Kaur and Tarnpreet Singh, also has Prachi Mishra playing the lead. The movie's music is on T-Series and is distributed by Waves Cinema. The movie is slated for release on March 20.
