Sanjay Suri is probably one the few actor-producers who have a sense of humour even when it comes to his films.

Juhi Chawla is currently shooting for Onir’s film I Am Megha where she plays a Kashmiri widow. Juhi’s character is loosely based on Sanjay Suri’s mother.

Juhi Chawla is getting set to portray a new role in her acting career. The actress will be seen in the role of a widow in the upcoming film I AM that is directed by renowned filmmaker Onir.

Producers Onir and Sanjay Suri have applied to The Guinness Book of World Records and The Limca Book of Records for having the largest number of co-producers for their film I A M.

Juhi Chawla’s character in Onir’s I am Megha from the ‘I Am’ series is inspired from Sanjay Suri’s mother Urvashi Suri’s life. Sanjay Suri, who comes from an affluent business family of Kashmiri pandits, had to leave Srinagar at the age of 19 when his father got killed by terrorists and they had to relocate in Delhi.

Courage and conviction make good bedfellows. Add vision and tenacity to it and there’s no stopping you. Recently I was invited by director Onir (who previously made the path breaking My Brother Nikhil) for a private preview of his forthcoming film I AM.
