Nawazuddin opposite Athiya Shetty in romantic comedy-drama Motichoor Chaknachoor

The Athiya Shetty starrer Motichoor Chaknachoor is a romantic comedy-drama, directed by Debamitra Biswal and produced by Viacom 18. She had refused to the movie, "I said no before I said yes because I did not know if I would be able to pull it off as this role is different from what I have done. It is out of my comfort zone. But that was also the exciting part." Athiya Shetty took time off after her first two movies to improve her skills. She wants to be a part of movies that help her "break the mould" in Bollywood, and 'Motichoor Chaknachoor' opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui is something that she believes will "challenge her as an actor". She plays the role of a small-town woman in the romantic comedy, which required her to go through workshops to get the body language, diction and nuances right. "I speak Bundelkhandi in the film, so I had to get the language and accent correct. I worked for about three to four weeks to get everything right as it has to be authentic and in sync with the film." The story revolves around a 36-year-old jobless man Pushpender played by Nawazuddin, trying to find a wife and Annie played by Athiya, who is looking for a husband. But she wants to settle abroad after marriage. (Photos: Instagram)
