THE ZING THING
Filmfare|August 2022
MOVIES, MUSICALS, AND THEATRE MAKE TARA SUTARIA'S WORLD SING. JITESH PILLAI DISCOVERS THAT THE LATEST ACTOR ON THE BLOCK IS AN OLD SOUL.
THE ZING THING

Behind that beautiful face lurks a sharp and sensitive mind. Tara Sutaria, with her deliciously straightened hair and cover girl looks, is raring to go with her latest release, EK Villian Returns, a sequel to the EK Villain franchise. She talks about her love for music, being obsessed with theatre productions like The Phantom of the Opera. She's watched a new play running in the suburbs of Bombay at least 12 times. She also had a wonderful taste in music, talking about everyone from Barbara Streisand to Mohammed Rafi. She lists Yeh Raatein yeh mausam and the songs from Pyaasa as delectable... which all adds up to the right time to meet Tara. And I ask...

THE VOICE THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH FIRST WAS BARBRA STREISAND'S. I PLAY HER RECORDS EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN I GO HOME BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF WHO I REALLY LOVE AND WHO I REALLY WANT TO BE

STUDENT OF THE YEAR 2, HEROPANTI 2, AND NOW EK VILLAIN RETURNS, YOU APPEAR TO BE THE FRANCHISE’S QUEEN.

Honestly, I didn’t realise this until a journalist brought it up recently. It was definitely not a conscious decision. But this is my fifth film and my third sequel, so yes, that’s a lot of sequels.

DID YOU THINK THERE WAS A DANGER OF BEING STEREOTYPED?

No. I don’t think I have been put in a box, and I hope that I will not be any time soon.

IF YOU WERE TO MEET YOUR CHARACTER FROM EK VILLAIN RETURNS, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL HER?
