Popular Marathi film and theatre personality Bharat Jadhav will now be seen in Kundan Shah's Hindi film P Se Pm Tak. The film is a story of a prostitute who goes on to become the Prime Minister.
Ask Bharat if there will be any vulgarity in the film and he says, "No, there's no vulgarity in P Se Pm Tak. It's a graph of a prostitute who goes on to become the Prime Minister. So her character speaks the language of a prostitute but it's not cheap."
Bharat will be seen playing a dead person in the film but is shown to be alive to the other characters. So is the film similar to Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (Kundan Shah's cult comic caper)? Clarifies Bharat, "No, it's not. In that film there was a still dead body. But in this film I'm dead but I also sing and dance.
