Neha and Abhay earn 2.5 crores in 2.5 hours!

Ek Chalis Ki Last Local is the directorial debut of Sanjay Khandoori that talks about two strangers Nilesh and Madhu played by Abhay Deol and Neha Dhupia. They both miss their 1:40 am last local train.

The movie is about two strangers who end up making their wait worthwhile as they fall in love and earn some money along the way. Well, not really some, but sufficient money. “Dhai Ghante mein Dhai Crore”, says Abhay Deol.

Apart from famous pakistani group Call-The Band, the music in the movie has been composed by Sandesh Shandilya. Debutante Ankur has also done a song and the remix is by famous DJ Suketu.

Neha Dhupia had put behind her glam-doll image in Chup Chup Ke. Even in this film she plays a girl next door character. “I am clad in salwar kameez and that’s my look for the entire film. I think that’s the only advantage of being an actress, you get to play different roles. I was stuck in an image but that doesn’t mean that I’ll follow it. I don’t want to have an image of sex symbol or girl next door. I just want to be known as a good actress, who can play different kind of roles and that’s what I am trying to achieve. I am experimenting with different kinds of roles”, says Neha.

Abhay Deol adds, “I play an idiotic fun loving guy, who works in a call centre. I can’t reveal much about the story but yes this is about how two people come across a situation where they have to spend a night together. It may sound quite unique that the film does not talk about the characters but situations.”

Abhay looks stunning in this film. He reveals that he likes to play those roles that give him an opportunity be real. “Larger than life characters can be tiresome. We have done so much about the hero, who comes to save all; he looks great, he dances and shows his big muscles. Such roles are tiresome. I don’t mind playing heroic roles but I like to do roles where perhaps you have to face obstacles. Heroism isn’t just beating up the bad guy. Heroism could also be about mounting problems. I like the role that can push the boundaries”.
