Vishal Jethwa Praises Kajol: She lifts the entire team's energy levels

In an interview with IANS, Vishal Jethwa who will soon be seen in his next film Salaam Venky alongside Kajol praised the latter for her unique style of acting and the power to single-handedly uplift the energy on the set.

"This film has some powerful actors, each with their unique style of acting. All of them have the power to pull off anything in front of the camera. Like if I talk about Kajol mam, just before the take, she is so charged up, joking around with her co-actors, smiling, laughing and single-handedly uplifting the entire energy of the set She miraculously transforms into Venky's mother with a lot of gravitas oozing out of her the moment the camera starts rolling. Now that's the power of a good actor -- to switch on and switch off within an instant," he said.

Jethwa who is best known for playing a villain in the 2019 film Mardaani 2 starring opposite Rani Mukerji, will be seen playing Kajol’s son in Salaam Venky.

Directed by actor-director Revathy, Salaam Venky tells the story of a terminally ill boy and his mother and how the latter does everything in her capacity to help her son live life to the fullest. The film releases in theatres on December 9.
