Danny Denzongpa: “Not Said Yes To Sooraj Barjatya As Yet”

In conversation with Danny Denzongpa

Reports of Danny Denzongpa being a part of Sooraj Barjatya’s next directorial Oonchai have been making the rounds. Initial reports suggested that Amitabh Bachchan and Anupam Kher were to star as lifelong friends. This proved to be true. However, later reports about Boman Irani being part of the cast turned out erroneous.

We now have reports everywhere that the ultra-picky Danny Denzongpa, last seen in Manikarnika The Queen Of Jhansi in 2019, has agreed to be part of the cast alongside Mr Bachchan and Mr Kher.

However when I reached out to an exceedingly reclusive actor asking if he is part of Barjatya’s project he said, “Not yet. I am reading the script.”

A source close to the actor adds, “Danny likes the script. But with Bachchan Saab and Anupam Kher helming the project there is little for him to do in it. At this stage of his career he doesn’t want to do an inconsequential role for the sake of being a part of a big project.”
