Release of ‘Bezubaan Ishq’ put off to next month
NEW DELHI: Sneha Ullal, who is appearing after a long hiatus in Bezubaan Ishq, has said Salman Khan “is like a mentor to me. He is the one who showed me the world of Bollywood and I would love to work with him again. He is like an angel always ready to help.”
She added that when her mother suffered from cancer, he was the first one to come up with help and appointments.
Bezubaan Ishq directed by Jashwant Gangani, is a romantic family musical with a contemporary love triangle but highlighting traditional values. The film also stars Nishant Malkani, Mugdha Godse, Darshan Jariwala, Farida Jalal, Sachin Khedekar, Smita Jaykar, Muni Jha, Alexandra Ashman, Soniya Mehta among others.
Put off to next month, the film has music by Babli Haque and Rupesh Verma.
Addressing a press meet here, Ullal who was launched by Khan in Lucky: No Time for Love justified her long hiatus saying, “I was waiting for the right time and the perfect story to make a comeback. I pretty much liked my character in Bezubaan Ishq and that is why I said yes to it. After Lucky I did not get good Bollywood offers. I did ‘Aryan’ and‘Kash…mere hote’ which unfortunately did not do well at the box office. Then I worked in a few Telugu films which to my luck did pretty well.”
Nishant Malkani who was also present said he started his career with the small screen with Miley jab ham tum. He even starred in Sasural genda phool and Ram milaye Jodi. The actor was also seen in the 2013 film Horror Story. When asked about Ullal as a co-star, he said, “She is a lady with beautiful heart. She sometimes is very innocent and sometimes acts as a tomboy.”
Bezubaan Ishq is a love triangle between Ullal, Malkani and Mugda Godse.
It has been made under the banner of Gangani Motion Pictures and has been produced by Jashwant Gangani, C.J. Gadara and Dinesh Likhiya.
