Shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again began last week and Parineeti Chopra has joined “the boy gang”. That’s what Shetty and Chopra call the rest of the cast — Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade and Kunal Kemmu.

Rohit on Pari

Of Pari’s character, Rohit reveals, “She plays a girl of today — wholesome and earthy. You will never see the characters in my films in Armani suits or any designer outfits; Parineeti is no exception,” he says.

Rohit adds that he cast Pari because she was perfect for the role, “After working with her for the last four days, I can say that she looks like as if she’s part of the gang as she blends in beautifully.”

Pari on doing GA

On why she picked Golmaal Again, Parineeti says, “It really came to me at the perfect time. I was looking to do a big, fun, comedy film and GA was the perfect combination of all these three things. The biggest deciding factor was obviously Rohit Shetty. He is someone I’ve always wanted to work with. I love all his films, and the kind of reach he has. Working in such an environment is also educating me on who our audience really is, what kind of films they like watching. I am honoured and excited to be a part of it. I love working with the team. They are also a mad, fun-loving team — always playing pranks and making fun of the crew but there’s so much of love and friendship between them. It’s such a fun set to be a part of and there’s never any stress.”

Parineeti adds, “My character is as fun, crazy and cool as these boys are, so I was very excited when this role was offered to me.”
