Jaya Prada to work with Bokadia

Jaya Prada, who has done several hit films for K C Bokadia, has signed a new film with him. This film showcases the journey of a woman from her youth to old age. Jaya Prada, who is currently busy canvassing for elections says, “The role he has offered me is giving me a graph where I can really flaunt my artistic ability to a perfect T. This film will show me as a young woman moving into an older age. The character I am playing
 is a very strong woman. She stands on her convictions, has a very strong personality and fights for what is right.”

When asked why she is not seen so often on screen, she replies, “Because of my
involvement in politics. Plus the offers coming my way were not really worth taking the trouble for. I did not want to do a film just to be seen. I have been doing more of
regional films. My Bengali-Hindi bilingual film with Buddhadeb Dasgupta is ready. Sharad Hegde’s The Desire — Journey of a Woman, in which I play Shilpa Shetty’s mother is
being readied for release.” The lady plays an Odissi danseuse in The Desire.

Jaya Prada has worked with Bokadia in films such as Aaj Ka Arjun opposite Amitabh Bachchan, Main Tera Dushman and Insaf Kaun Karega along with Jackie Shroff; Kundan, Ganga Tere Desh Mein, Zulm-O-Sitam and Maidan-E-Jung with Dharmendra and
Tyaagi with Rajnikant.
