Does ‘Masti 4’ Actress Ruhii Siingh Believe Milap Zaveri Knows the Franchise Inside Out?

Mumbai, June 29 (NationPress) Actress Ruhii Siingh, who is set to star as one of the principal characters in the forthcoming film ‘Masti 4’, has showered accolades on the film's director, Milap Zaveri.

In a recent conversation with IANS, she expressed that Milap, a staple of the franchise since its very beginning, has an exceptional understanding of what resonates with the general audience.

The actress shared with IANS, “He has been a part of ‘Masti’ from the start and comprehends the core of the ‘Masti’ series, its broad appeal, and now he’s stepping in as the director. I’m thrilled and eager to see his perspective on the brand as the director. He knows his audience and caters to their sensibilities. No holds barred.”

When asked about her feelings after being offered this major entertainer, she said, “As soon as I got the offer for ‘Masti 4’, I jumped at it. Masti is a well-established franchise with a rich legacy, and I was overjoyed to be part of it. The film boasts a fantastic cast, a director who understands the brand and his audience, humor as its foundation, and it sounds incredibly fun. Overall, it’s a remarkable opportunity.”

She also reminisced about her experience watching the films in the franchise, stating, “I recall watching the second film, ‘Grand Masti’, with my friends and laughing uncontrollably.”

Comedy is notoriously challenging, and even the most seasoned actors, who excel in dramatic roles, can struggle with comedic timing. How does she plan to master the comic rhythm?

Ruhii informed IANS, “I’m not shy about laughing at myself. I love being funny and goofy in my personal life. To me, a lack of humor in a friend is a deal-breaker. That said, I also recognize that comedy is the toughest genre, and I’ve been working diligently. I’ve been watching comedies, particularly films featuring Rajpal Yadav and Paresh Rawal. Plus, I’ve been consistently collaborating with my acting coach to grasp the essence of comedic timing.”

When asked about her perspective on merging glamour with comedy, the actress provided a thoughtful answer, saying, “Glamour is a given in our industry. Why even be here if you’re not glamorous? However, comedy takes effort, and I’m preparing myself as an actor to do justice to the role. I don’t see a conflict in being glamorous and funny. Icons like Sridevi and Juhi Chawla have demonstrated great comic timing.”

As an outsider, she acknowledged facing her own set of challenges while navigating the industry. She quoted her colleague Sidhant Chaturvedi, saying, “Where our dreams come true, their struggles begin,” which resonated deeply with her. She expressed gratitude to every individual in the industry who has provided her with opportunities to prove herself. “I have a long journey ahead, and I am ready for the challenge.”
