After playing a teenager in two of her cinematic outings, Masaan and
Haraamkhor, actor Shweta Tripathi is all set to shock her fans with
her runaway bride act in Good Morning Sunshine.
Directed by Sanjay Nag, the film centres around the lack of sanitation
and toilet facilities in rural areas and her character Leelavati is
inspired by Priyanka Bharti, who left her in-law’s house in her bridal
finery because there was no toilet there. Tripathi, who recently met
Priyanka, says, “I still find it incredible that a girl could dare to
run away from her in-law’s house because there was not toilet at home
and that too in her bridal dress. I can’t stop admiring that girl for
her guts.”
In Good Morning Sunshine, Tripathi shares screen space with other
acting powerhouses including Revathy, Rituparna Sengupta, and
Tejaswini Kolhapure. Shabana Azmi has a cameo in the film. “I was
thrilled to be a part of such a power-packed acting ensemble. The
actors come from diverse backgrounds, and there was so much to learn
from all of them.”
But what she loved the most about the film was working with Revathy,
an actor whom she simply adores. “It was nothing but pure bliss to
share screen space with Revathy. She’s calm, mature and intelligent.
And a rockstar who has also participated in rally racing. I loved
every bit of being with her, interacting and above all listening to
her. I got a little more time with her so because we shared the vanity
van.”
The film has music by MM Keeravani, whose Baahubali 2 is slated for
release later this month. “It feels great to have a big name like MM
Kreem on board,” she says.
In between, Tripathi is super excited to meet the new boy in her life.
The boy is just two-days-old and son of her Haraamkhor director Shlok
Sharma. “He is too cute. I have just seen his pictures, but I am
anxiously waiting to meet Shlok’s bundle of joy.”
She has just wrapped up the shoot for Good Morning Sunshine and is
currently busy reading scripts at home. “There is a lot in the
pipeline, and in a week’s time, I will have something good to share,”
she says
