Veteran actress Neena Gupta, who is playing a pivotal role in the forthcoming multi-starrer Badhaai Ho, says she agreed to do the film even without reading the script as its subject is very real and entertaining at the same time.

“I did not even read the script of the film because the subject was so interesting. Female actors of our age don’t get a chance to play such interesting characters. This phase of our life is not addressed only in our Hindi cinema.

“But I think the change is happening because of the youngsters who are writing such scripts,” Neena told IANS.

The film also features Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra.

The story of the film revolves around an elderly couple who are expecting a child in their late 40s.

Asked about Sanya’s response to the script, the Dangal actress said: “It was an instant yes from my end when I heard the narration of the story. That does not happen so easily with us…more than the character, I wanted to be the part of this film because of its subject. I am so lucky to share screen space with some great actors like Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Surekha Sikri.”
