'Nargis will surprise you in Madras Cafe’

Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar has roped in Nargis Fakhri for Madras Cafe and says that he is re-launching her in filmdom with his movie on terrorism.

She made her Bollywood debut with hit musical romance Rockstar as a college going student. While her co-star Ranbir Kapoor was praised for his performance in the film, the actress managed to impress with her looks.

Now Sircar is presenting her as a journalist in Madras Cafe, a political-thriller, which deals with terrorism and civil war and was reportedly shot in Sri Lanka and India.

‘This is Nargis’s debut film. I introduced Nargis in a commercial and then she did Rockstar,’ Shoojit told reporters in a group interview. Showing confidence in the actress’s acting skills, he further said: ‘I can assure you, she will surprise everybody with the film. This is the reason I am telling you Nargis is debuting with Madras Cafe.’

With three films in his kitty and a National Award, Sircar, the man behind Yahaan, Vicky Donor and Shoebite, says that he is ‘particular about my actors’.  ‘I don’t let them go till I get the best out of them. Nargis will be re-launched with the film,’ he reiterated.
