Lleana D’Cruz says delay in ‘Barfi’ was worth the wait

Southern superstar Lleana D’Cruz, who is all set for her first ever Bollywood ride with Anurag Basu’s ‘Barfi’, says the delay in the film was worth it and now she is just curious to see what response her film gets from the audiences.

She said, “When you are excited to do a film, you definitely look forward to a quick release as well. But when it takes longer than expected, it does bother you. It wasn’t any different for me. When Barfi was getting pushed ahead, it did throw me off a little initially. However, I consoled myself by thinking that whatever happens is for the best.”

She added, “It was all worth it and the whole experience of shooting was so beautiful. I got more time to focus on the film as well as the character that allowed me to better my own act.”

Lleana, who is going to share screen space with the likes of Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, is a well known face when in southern films but she has also become a recognised face in Bollywood due to her body of work. The actress is happy about it but she insists ‘Barfi’ is completely different from her earlier movies.

The 24-year-old bombshell has urged people not to compare her southern films with ‘Barfi’ as she thinks it would only disappoint them.

She said, “I want people to look at me with fresh perspective. Reason being that if you watch my South films and then see Barfi!, you may be disappointed in case you are carrying similar expectations. Barfi! is very different from my South films. This one is more thought provoking and is about philosophy of life.”

The much-anticipated romantic comedy film, whose title was earlier credited as ‘Khamoshi and Silence’ will hit the cinema halls today so let’s see how the people react to it.
