Mumbai,: Soon to be released Lafangey Parindey, the latest offering from the Yash Raj banner and COLORS’ unique reality show India’s Got Talent Khoj 2 have come together to celebrate talent at its best.
The film’s leading lady, Deepika Padukone plays a character called Pinky Palkar, a blind girl who is a powerhouse of talent and is born to fly! A fabulous dancer on skates, her life’s ambition is only one – to rise above all the ‘losers’ living in her locality and carve a niche for herself. She will be seen participating in India’s Got Talent in the film, to show the others that she can win in life.
It is with such unflinching courage and a strong will to achieve that Pinky Palkar decides to participate in India’s Got Talent where ordinary people with extraordinary talent are recognized and appreciated. Also starring Neil Nitin Mukesh as One Shot Nandu, Lafangey Parindey is a story of grit and hope, where in the characters are ambitious and want to make it big in life. Talent is an intrinsic part of the film. Pinky does not consider her blindness as a handicap, but makes it her strength. A similar driving force is what defines the concept of India’s Got Talent Khoj 2 that premieres on July 30; Fridays and Saturdays at 9pm on COLORS.
Talking about her character in the movie, Deepika Padukone said, “Pinky is very clear about one thing - she wants to win in life, and she chooses to do this through her talent. She has the hunger to reach the stars, her limitation of being blind not withstanding. She has what it takes to win at a platform like India’s Got Talent and she decides to go for it.”
“I salute the spirit of India’s Got Talent and the dream of each and every participant who wants to carve a niche by showcasing his or her talent to the world. This August is going to be a month of celebrating talent; while viewers will enjoy some exciting acts on India’s Got Talent Khoj 2 on COLORS, I am confident that they will also cheer for Pinky Palkar when Lafangey Parindey hits the big screen”, she added.
“We are extremely excited about the collaboration between Lafangey Parindey and India’s Got Talent Khoj 2. A strong-headed girl with a unique talent like Pinky played by Deepika is ideal for a show like ours. It was great to have her on the sets and we are confident that the viewers would love the display of extraordinary talent both in the film and on the show”, said, Ashvini Yardi, Programming Head - COLORS. |
