Producer Anju Asrani on Jilebi. Sree Kamal, is making his debut with the youthful entertainer Jilebi which stars Shivani Rajasekhar as the female lead. The film is directed by Sree Kamal's father, ace director Vijaya Bhaskar. The film is releasing on 18 August 2023. Ahead of the film release, producer Anju Asrani shared about Jilebi secrets.

How did you enter into the project.?

I have been an actress for more than 20 years and have done modeling, acting in serials and after doing roles in Gopala Gopala, and Sardar Gabbar Singh, monotony crept in. I thought of doing something different and during covid time, I got an idea to enter into production. I thought I can even provide employment for many apart from tell something new to the viewers. I did many commercials for TS government under Anju Asrani Productions. After two years, I got an offer to take over this project as a partner from another producer Ramakrishna. As it had Vijaya Bhaskar and Mani Sharma, I decided to take a plunge.

When someone from Vijaya Bhaskar's side walked out of the project, Didnot you think it was risky.?

No. He opted out of the project on health grounds and there was no other issues. It was on mutual understanding.

Did you believe in Vijaya Bhaskar or the story?

Frankly speaking, I believed in Vijaya Bhaskar as he is the USP for the project.

Did Vijaya Bhaskar came up with the story as per the trend or became outdated?

It's not outdated. But is a youthful entertainer. His son is a youngster and hardworking.

That means Vijaya Bhaskar has more responsibility to deliver a hit.?

Definitely. As a parent anyone would love to see their child succeed. As a producer, we wish our film to be a big hit.

What's your feeling after watching the first copy? How confident are you.?

I am confident as it is directed by Vijaya Bhaskar. I did not get bored for the entire first half. I got entertained a lot as I love such comedy crapers. My confidence increased after watching the first copy.

Will you continue your production house.?

Definitely. Even though I am getting offers as an actress, I want to take a break. If I get good role, I will act otherwise I will continue production. I love to make good webseries and web content films.

What's your expectation on Jilebi.?

Jilebi will be sureshot hit. These days comedy flicks did not come and mostly movie lovers have been treated to action flicks. Youngsters, guys will get connected to it. We promoted the film quite well and viewers get connected with good talk.

Will Vijaya Bhaskar's son shine as a hero.?

I wish him success as a hero. He worked hard for the movie. He strained a lot during the song shoot in Bangkok. Success will not desert who works hard.

Cinejosh wish Jilebi makers all the best ahead of its release.
