Mumbai, Jan 21: Everyone knows her as that rare and precious entity called the `comedienne'…. the latest example being the mad ad for a snack, where she plays Tulsi from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi with wicked wit.

Now Juhi Chawla will have a whole film written to exploit her comic talents. To be produced by Sa Re Ga Ma, the Na Na Karte will feature Juhi in a unique tailormade role, of the kind never done by a Hindi-film heroine before."

Sa Re Ga Ma's chief executive (movie production) Harish Dayani says, "Though the film will have two heroes and leading ladies, so far we've locked in only Juhi Chawla for the project. It's a role only she can do and a film that perhaps cannot be made without her. Juhi plays a female version of what Paresh Rawal generally does in our movies."

Director Ananth Mahadevan, who has just wrapped up an amazing humanistic drama Staying Alive, is looking forward to doing this out-and-out frolic with the funnies. "Though I've done comedy on TV (Ghar Jamai) and my feature film Dil Maange More was a romantic comedy , Na Na Karte will be the first comedy with an actress. I consider Juhi the Goldie Hawn of India. Her comic potential is illimitable. I wrote the role with her mind. Juhi plays a goofy do-gooder who unknowingly gets into trouble for all the wrong reasons. If it works, Juhi could become the first female comic superstar of Bollywood."

Incidentally, Rekha and Mallika Sherawat had recently tried to do a full-on comedy Bachke Rehna Re Baba, and, in the process, fallen flat on their 'farce'.
