On Thursday, the cast and crew of 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3' celebrated the film’s wrap with a grand party, with Randeep Hooda, who played the gangster in the first film of the franchise, joining in with a celebratory cake.
“Chitrangada was delighted as she has been calling this her big comeback and is excited to be a part of the franchise,” producer Rahul Mittra tells Mirror, adding that the actress was writer-director Tigmanshu Dhulia’s first choice for the role.
“She plays a woman in love, everything she does in the film is for love and you will see her in a special song sequence as well for which she has rehearsed extensively. It has a very 'Pakeezah' like feel to it,” he adds.
Meanwhile, Chitrangada claims that the third instalment ups the ante with its narrative.
“The game was never this vicious,” she winks, adding, “With Sanjay (Dutt) in the film, the audience is set to witness the wrath of a kingpin.
'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3' has three times the intensity and rivalry of the previous films,” she asserts.
The third instalment features Sanjay Dutt as the gangster and Kabir Bedi and Nafisa Ali
as his parents. Deepak Tijori also features in a prominent role, with franchise regulars Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill reprising their roles as Saheb and Biwi respectively.
“The film will double up as a perfect birthday girl for Sanju, who turns 59 on July 29, exactly two days after the film’s release,” Rahul informs.
