Sources revealed that the coming-of-age musical, starring Masaan sensation Vicky Kaushal, will feature Sarah Jane Dias in a never-seen-before avatar . Adding that her styling and character has been inspired by Jlo.
To bag the role, Sarah had a grueling audition process that included not just enacting a couple of scenes but also singing.Lucky for the actress, singing has always been a passion and a few minutes into the audition she was already cast in the role.
" While her role in nothing like the popstar's actual personality, the makers took inspiration from Jlo's various looks from her music video.She plays a bohemian,free spirited singer and since the music in the film is not your typical fare there was a lot of global inspiration " source aadded.
Sarah says,"I'm a complete JLo fan girl so it was easier for me to relate to what the director (Mozez)had in mind...the songs are bright,vibrant and something that Bollywood has not completely explored...and then he wanted me to mix up the sexiness of Jlo with the shiny and effervescent disco feel of Nazia Hassan. it was fun playing a pop singer as it allowed me to have the best of both worlds and explore both my passions - singing and acting."
