KARACHI: Film ‘Jazbaa’ is a fast paced, edge of your seat, action thriller with an equally frantic and bustling Mumbai city as its backdrop. The film revolves around the journey of a prominent and respected lawyer Anuradha (Aishwarya) who is yet to lose a case, along with Yohan (Irrfan), a suspended cop with much disregard for age-old rules. It is their race against time and corruption to save her daughter Sanaya. The movie is slated to hit the big screens on 9th October 2015 all over Pakistan under the banner of Geo Films. Sanjay Gupta is known to make dramatic action thrillers. All his past films, be it ‘Kaante’ or ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala’, have had larger than life heroes mouthing the most melodramatic lines. His latest, ‘Jazbaa’, marks the comeback of Aishwarya to the big screen after five long years. While the world is rejoicing Aishwarya Rai’s comeback, and rightly so, she creates quite an impact with her serious, gritty lawyer avatar in the first trailer, we can’t help but notice the overtly dramatic lines that each of the characters seem to mouth which were typical of the 1990s masala potboilers that Bollywood churned out. Aishwarya Rai, who will be seen essaying the role of an advocate in “Jazbaa”, believes that no film can flop if planned properly. “So I think there shouldn’t be any loss-making business in the film industry, and if it is well planned no film can flop,” she added. “I am a working mother, so by vocation I am a lawyer (in the film). The director has done all the research that needs to be done before presenting to the actor and it is not that it’s taken from reality so that you really need to match the certain kind of fact,” Aishwarya said. Irrfan, who has come to the country for two days from Lithuania just for dubbing for “Jazbaa”, also added that the only thing that was “tough” in the film was the “location”. Aishwarya will be seen doing some daring stunts in ‘Jazbaa,’ but the actress says that it’s not an action entertainer. “The action is just a section of it. It’s not an action film,” Aishwarya said during a media interaction in Mumbai. On being asked about how she prepared herself for the character, she said: “There was no time for the preparations. It was like ‘go to the sets and jump to action’. I am glad that I was able to do that.”
