Divya's role in Babumoshai Bandookbaaz not inspired by Amma
Filmmaker Kushan Nandy has said that actress Divya Dutta's role in his upcoming film 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz' is not based on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. "Our film is fictional. So, the similarities [between Divya's character and Jayalalithaa] begin and end with the fact that she plays a female politician, who is a go-getter," he added. 
Rumour has it that Divya Dutta's character in Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is based on late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. Divya is playing the main antagonist in the film, Mid-Day reports.Apparently, Divya has been watching videos of the former AIADMK supremo to get into the skin of her character. A lot of effort has also been put into her look in the film, since the makers wanted her appearance and mannerisms to be "exactly like Jayalalithaa's," according to a source.However, director Kushan Nandy told the publication that there is no truth to these reports. "Our film is fictional. So, the similarities [between Divya's character and Jayalalithaa] begin and end with the fact that she plays a female politician, who is a go-getter. Divya is a fine actor. She took pains and time to delve into factual research for her role. I feel it will be her finest performance as an actor till date."The trailer released earlier today, and Divya's character looks intriguing. Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is about Babu (Nawazuddin), a contract killer who, in his own words, does "outsourcing" for Yamraj (the Hindu god of death). Things become interesting when Babu and his rival get contracts to kill the same 3 people.A new power play begins, after deciding that whichever of the two killers manages to kill two out of three will become the undisputed number 1. But is there more to it than meets the eye?Babumoshai Bandookbaaz will hit the theatres on August 25.
