Pia Bajpai, who was last seen in Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathey is back with a bilingual film opposite Malayalam heartthrob Tovino Thomas. While she was busy with her Hindi film Mirza Juuliet, Pia has also been immersed in giving herself a great makeover. The actress is more fit than ever, with a super toned body to boast of... and boy, is she raising eyebrows!
Talking to DC about what motivated her to take this up, Pia says, “You know how people get into fitness during a low phase? That’s what happened with me too, three years ago. I used to hit the gym and take out all my anger and frustration there.” Pia insists that her transformation is more personal and not for any particular film — “Taking care of myself, changing to healthier food habits has changed me as a person! Although, many friends have been urging me to take up sport-based films now — and I would love to do them!”
Talking about her upcoming film, Pia says, “I play the role of an urban, organic farmer. I cannot reveal much, because it is all under the wraps. But it is a trendy love story, nothing like what I have done before.” The yet-to-be-titled film, directed by cinematographer-turned-director BR Vijayalakshmi will see Tovino Thomas entering Tamil cinema. The film is in it’s final stages of production and will hit the screen in a few months.
Apart from Tovino, the film boasts of a seasoned cast including Prabhu, Suhasini and Rohini. Pia excitedly says, “Suhasini ma’am is full of positive vibes. I learnt a lot from Rohini ma’am with whom I have many scenes. Prabhu sir is very kind and funny too. All of them went out of their way to teach me my lines too.”
