Parineeti praises Emily Blunt

Actress Parineeti Chopra is set to begin the official remake of Hollywood thriller, The Girl on the Train. The actress will reprise the role of the protagonist essayed by Emily Blunt in the original and she is fine with people comparing her performance with Hollywood superstars.

She said, “Emily Blunt’s performance in the film had blown my mind. It is a privilege for me to play the character that she has essayed so brilliantly on the screen. The restrain and range she showed as an actor while playing a girl, who is troubled and battling herself in the film, showed what a fantastic actor she is. When any actor does a remake of a loved film, there are high expectations. So, I realise that the audience will compare my portrayal of the protagonist vs Emily’s.”

The actress added, “The best way to approach this film for me is to embrace the fact that parallels will be drawn. Since the original film was so well received by people, I’m hoping the same for my film, without thinking too much about the comparisons.”

Based on the 2015 bestseller by Paula Hawkins, the film narrates the story of a divorcee woman who gets entangled in a shocking missing person’s investigation that throws her life to the brink.

Parineeti complimented Emily, “Her performance is a super reference point for me. She has brought to life a character from paper and she was genius at it. I will look to try and add my own rendition to the character that people have loved so much. I hope this role gives me an opportunity to show my versatility and that it will be interesting for people to see how Emily and I performed the same role with our individual uniqueness.”
