Swara Bhaskar to play a s*x worker in her next film

After donning the character of a house helper in her last film ‘Nil Battey Sannata’, Swara Bhaskar is now set to play a s*x worker in her upcoming film. Based on a novel by Aditya Kripalani, the film is titled ‘Tikli and Laxmi Bomb’  and will be helmed by the writer himself. Apart from Swara, Marathi actress Vibhavari Deshpande is also a part of the project.

Swara, in the film, will be playing 22-year-old Tikli, while Vibhavari will be essaying the role of 40-year-old Laxmi.

The film revolves around two women who together decide to form a co-operative consisting of and meant to help for s*x workers.

“Aditya approached me and asked me to read the book first. When I did, I realised that he was doing the right thing by turning his work into a film. It’s a great plot, a great role and I think it will make for a really interesting watch. It will show the world of se*x workers through an imaginative and empathetic lens,” Swara said, about being a part of the film.

The film will roll in January and will be shot in real locations.
