Lucky Bhaskar and Guntur Kaaram actress Meenakshi Chaudhary is all set to make her Hindi debut, much to the delight of her fans. Meenakshi is all set to enter Bollywood with Akshay Kumar's Bhagam Bhag 2. In a recent interview, Meenakshi confirmed her Hindi debut and revealed that she had been waiting for a similar role for quite some time. The diva also spoke about working with one of the biggest stars in Bollywood: Akshay Kumar.

Meenakshi Chaudhary spoke to Variety India and confirmed her role in the sequel. She said, “I feel like it came at a time when I was looking for something exactly like this. I was looking for scripts that families would enjoy, and having seen the first part when I was younger, I loved it. So getting to be a part of this feels like it arrived at the perfect time when I was searching for something like this.”

She also revealed that many projects came to her, but she was not very keen on the storylines. She said, “And that is exactly how it happened, because a lot of the other projects that came to me story-wise were not something I was very keen on. When this came along, it just felt like pure laughter. I feel like no matter what age you are or what language you come from, this storyline and character will connect with you. You are going to enjoy it regardless of the language you watch it in.”

Meenakshi revealed that she will be learning a lot from Oh My God actor Akshay Kumar, who is returning for the sequel. Talking about working with Kumar, Meenakshi said, “For me, I think I am just going to be the biggest student on set, like how chelas are around a guru, just following whatever they say. I think I am going to be that on this set and absorb everything I can from him. Not every day do you get an opportunity to work with someone as amazing as he is in his craft.”

She added, “He knows exactly what he is doing, and seeing that up close is honestly a blessing for any actor. I am so grateful that I get to experience that. Yes, I met sir and had a narration and everything. I think he is currently busy working on something else, and once that is done he will jump onto our project. I cannot wait to be on set with the rest of the crew. I met the director too — he is so funny. He has such a great hold over comedy and knows exactly what he is doing. It is a very exciting group of people to be working with.”

The OG Bhagam Bhag was released in 2006 and also starred Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, Asrani, and several others in key roles.

In part 2, apart from Meenakshi and Akshay, the film also stars Paresh Rawal and Ayesha Khan. Govinda, however, has been replaced by Manoj Bajpayee in the sequel. The film will go on floors this month.
