The Story in Brief
Sanjeeda Shaikh has revealed she was 'fooled' into doing the action scenes in Dhamaal 4 while the male stars handled the comedy. In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actor said that on set, it became a joke that Ajay Devgn was present for the comic bits and she was performing all the action sequences. Shaikh, known for her role in the intense period drama Heeramandi, said director Indra Kumar initially thought she was a 'serious actress' but cast her after hearing her laugh.
Dhamaal 4, which also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and Jaaved Jaaferi, opened to mostly negative reviews but has earned over Rs 200 crore worldwide.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Bollywood women are either 'serious' or 'funny' and that action belongs to men is lazy. Shaikh proved she could do both, even if the industry keeps typecasting. The real test will be whether she gets offered more diverse roles after this box-office success, or if she is once again slotted into the 'serious actor' box when the next intense drama comes along.
